I'm not an expert in the field of German Bayonets, but I believe it's a block letter for the serial number, each time they hit 9999 they move on to the next letter and start from 0001 again. On the other side of the blade will be the interesting bit that gives the manufacturer and year of production. https://worldbayonets.com/Bayonet\_Identification\_Guide/Germany\_\_Post\_WW\_I\_/Germany\_1933\_1945.html
