toggle pin - numbered on all Lugers?
 
Where the toggle pins always numbered to military Lugers? If not, what year did they start putting the last two digits of the serial number on the pin?

On March 17, 1932, the German army published a directive requiring the last two digits of the serial number to be stamped on the P-08 rear connecting pin. The Bavarian Police followed suit with a directive on May 20 that same year.

Prior to that time all rear connecting pins were unmarked.

MM, The only WW1 PO8s that may be correct with numbered rear axel pins are ones that were reworked after 1931. Tom H.
