Straw = Golden/yellow color, the result of heat treating.
Holdopen = L-shaped lever on a small spring that keeps the toggle open after the last shot. It is pushed upward by the magazine button.

Without hold open: The toggle stays closed after last round.
With hold open: The toggle stays open after last round.

At first the German army did order the pistols without the hold open but from 1913 they changed the order and the hold open also was added to most of the pistols that had been made from1908.
The "strawed" parts on the first contract P08 are the trigger, safety lever, take down lever, magasine release and the ejector. (I think i dont forget anything.)

OK, Gang. Per John Sabato's request, here's a couple more shots for the books. Unfortunately, though, I'm such a newbie that I don't know what the "receiver ring" is. Maybe there's another term? Please let me know and I'll get off another shot.

Thanks for you patience.

Regards,

Steve Clarke
