I wonder when exactly Mauser started making P08s?

I remember something about Mauser receiving the machines and tools from another P08 maker that stopped making P08s. Was that DWM?

Which year was the first where Mauser made P08s for the military? 1934?

I presume Mauser stopped making P08s in november/december 1942 as they picked up P38 production around that time?

Also it would please me if someone could confirm/correct me on the following:

K stamped means 1934.
G stamped means 1935.
1936 and on had the year stamped, no letter code.
