Hello,
Just to add that Mauser started again the production of P08 and LP08 under French control (August 1945- October 1947). According to August Weiss around 3500 P08 were assembled using spare parts in stock. The LP08 were assembled using WWI barrels and/or Mauser contract (Persian, Siamese).
If you want to see a few pics please look at my web site and click on "LP08 made under French control".

Cheers,
Mauro
