Default The numbering system of postwar commercial

Acquired a very decent Weimar Alphabet from Ed. s/n 1323n, unlike military guns, it has no year stamp over the chamber. I am wondering the numbering system of postwar commercials -- did they follow 1- 10000, 1a - 10000a, etc, repeat every year? or, was it a single numbering system across years of production, never repeats because there was no year stamp?

Another thing not clear to me -- 1 - 10000 were used in prewar 1900. Were they skipped in 1920 to avoid confusion?

Final question... I heard DWM/BKIW also numbering postwar commercials following prewar sequence on some guns, starting from somewhere beyond seventy thousand. Any reason why they maintained two numbering systems?
