1940 dated code 42 (Mauser made) P 08. Grips are probably incorrect, as they didn't start with the black bakelite grips until 1941. Lighting is pretty bad for the photos, plus they don't upload well from screenshots. My first impression is it has its original blue finish, but can't really tell from the photos. The magazine really isn't that important, unless it is serial number matching, or a scarce variant.
