As Jerry said, there are block numbers of 10,000 guns each differentiated by a suffix, (or no suffix). The suffix block roll mark is one of the first put on guns and magazines

In answer to your question; no; they did not restart every year. They ran through the entire cycle of "No suffix" through Z.

If there was a crossover of a year, then a portion of the block would be in one year and the balance in the next year as indicated by the date roll mark on the top of the chamber. chamber. This was the LAST roll mark on the pistol.

Hope this helps.
