"The commission number is 0339 (WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?)"

qiite simple, it's the internal order number for this gun in the Merkel factory!
We won't forget Georg Honold, see your first post, he is in the game too! His name is to be seen on the cards too, with date, this means, he was involved in the order! See Card one and two beneath the headline beside the commission (order) number with pencil: Card 1: "Honold 9.VIII.28" Card 2: "Honold 8.II.29"
As I told, he was a Gun Trader in the city of Ulm in that time.
Now the whole thing becomes a sense: Hauptmann Hammer ordered a Merkel Gun at the Gun Trader Georg Hunold and this man ordered it at the Merkel factory, so it is " # Commission Hammer" as shown on the card!!

best,
