About all I can tell from the photo, is that the PO8 has been dipped, new DDR mag & grips install. If the barrel has a C/N on the bottom, it too is a DDR replacement. Just because the receiver has a notch forward of the date, does not prove that it was ever a LPO8 (Artillery Model). Erfurt used up it's left over (from 1914 LPO8 production) notched receivers on some of their 1916-1918 standard PO8s. TH
