G.A. listing
 

What do we think of this one?

http://www.gunsamerica.com//92999320..._Kit.htm?wl=1#

Looks like a generally honest early P08 with some issues;
- The blueing on the front strap appears freshened where the unit marks are.
- A very strange metal stress issue on the backstrap, with parrallel gouges and a crack?
- The wood base on the magazine looks like a reproduction or home made.

Hi David, It's a highly desirable and collectible DWM 1st Issue (1909), unit marked to a machine gun company. However, the issue that Alan raised, the apparent crack in the rear grip strap, is cause for concern. I would ask for more photos of that area, with the grips removed. The 22 conversion is a plus, the magazine base is a minus. Regards, Norm

I've seen the conversion kits offered for fairly hefty prices, online. What's a fair ballpark, just for the .22 kit?

David, I question the blue and straw. Strong possibility the pistol has been restored.

The .22 conversion is post war so I don't know if it's worth much?

The magazine body looks good and the wood bottom looks good from the side? Bottom looks milled out somehow?

Hi David, Simpson Ltd has one listed. Bearing in mind that they are a high end retailer, I think 60% of their price would be realistic. Regards, Norm
