Hi Dwight,
You translation is good to me.
Actually the P08 and LP08 were used not only by the Gendarmerie but also by the Army.
I am working on this matter, for example I kept in touch with the Spahis museum in France to clarify the use of "French" LP08 and I am waiting for some documents and pictures.
I guess this is a nice area of research.
Cheers,
Mauro
