Good eyes Rich! The barrel band is definitely longer.

With a dial caliper I measured the barrel band length. The 2nd sub variation K date band length is .665 inches while other P08 bands measure .582 inches. The sight base on the 2nd sub variation K date is .122 inches from the muzzle while other P08s measure .049 inches.

You guys have a great eye for detail.

Dick, why do you suppose this was done???

It's hard to imagine Mauser making a mistake...Maybe like Ron suggested, the barrels were sub-contracted and used regardless???
