yes, in fact it is the opposite. A "normal" commerical would have five digits, but during the weimar era, the "alphabet" guns had suffixes. These commerical alphabets were used by the military and the police, in addition to being sold as commerical.

Prior to the weimar era, Imperial, ww1 guns were all marked with a suffix, each suffix equals 10k of guns, so in one year there might be 130 - 160 thousand guns made.

What other information are you looking for?
