Ed,
IIRC, the breakout is like this:
Pre-war commercial: Numbered (Not absolutely certain here)
WWI-Numbered through about 1916
Weimar DWM-If new production, numbered
Weimar Simpson-numbered
WW2/Nazi Mauser-Numbered mostly but some exceptions in certain serial number ranges
WWII/Nazi Krieghoff-G and Early S date numbered; late S-date through 1944, unnumbered.
