Klaus,
Not all Reichswehr (post WWI) unit marks have the /. Yours is correctly applied and is legitimate.
All of my 1921s have 4 digit serial numbers without a letter suffix or with an a or b suffix. Yours is one of the mysterious 5 digit S/Ns with the 8 added.
There have been discussions on this in the past. I think the general thought is that the 8 was added after some type of refurbishment or rebuild.
