Mark on trigger-guard ?

Pierre, the fact that your 1912 Erfurt P08 is serial number 1034b indicates that Still's previous estimate needs to be expanded upward to at least 1034b. Jan Still's estimates are based on actual observations.

The gothic P on your trigger guard is simply an inspector's stamp in which the crown is only partly visible. This is most likely due to human error or a worn die.

Thanks for the answer George !
I red somewhere that marks on trigger-guard on Imperial Lugers were often property marks...

Have you any information about that ???
