The toggle is numbered 100. And the mag is 616 I think, it's a little distorted. When you say "1st issue, altered." what does that mean? I'm used to US martial arms. This is my first forray into Pre-WWI foreign arms. NEWB!

The 100 mark on the toggle is not the serial number. ItÃ?Â´s for the 100 meter settings on the rear sight. If you pull it back and up, you will see the 200 metes mark.
1. issue means its the first version of Luger issued for the German navy and altered means the safety was later changed from "safe up" (gesichert) to "safe down" like on the later made P08.

btw. Nice and interesting pistol.
