Several are known that have four digit serial numbers. I have owned 1200, 1203 and 1263. As Russ says, they never have a letter suffix and they all have triple crown over S acceptance stamps on the right side of the receiver.

As years are passing by, finding phony vintage guns will be more more and more frequent.
Anyway I think that some detailed pictures of fakes evidencing their faults could be interesting and useful for the general knowledge of our Luger aficionados.
