If you look closely at the numbers on the bottom of the barrel, they will be 8,08, and not 8,03. That number is the bore measurement, and should be there.

Oh okay thanks!! Makes sense, that's what I thought it was but it looks just like a 3, perhaps it's worn. Anything else you may be able to tell me about it? Collectible? Shooter? I'm trying to determine what exactly it was a part of, whether police, military, or whatnot. I would love to know all i can about it. I notice the grips didn't have a number either. Definitely old tho. I was hoping to have a matching gun!

Richard, I believe you have transposed a couple of digits... The bore diameter would be 8,8X where the "X" is digit from 1 to 5 which is within bore diameter tolerances on the Luger blueprints. In this case, if the last digit is really a "3" then the actual bore diameter is 8,83mm.

Yes, of course you are correct. This brain of mine seems to take a vacation from time to time. Thank you for supplying the OP with the correct info.
