I know some,and all are 1917 dated or before(a friend of mine has a 1914 Erfurt one).They were wrongly marked TOGHETHER with the formerly non-marked 9 mm.C96s at the end of 1917.When a German unit had toghether LP08s and 9mm.C96s,and the order of engraving the Red Nine came,probably some unit armoures marked toghether the"Grosse Pistolen"(Mauser)and the "Lange Pistolen"(DWM or Erfurt)
