Hello Dwight,
Thank you for your correct remark. I am sorry, it is my fault but I am used to indicate with the Treaty of Versailles the entire set of restriction (with the related procedures) imposed to the German by the Allied.
Of course, on 28th June 1919, neither the Germans Johannes Bell and Herman Muller nor Wilson, Clemenceau and all the others allied representatives have an idea about what a LP08 is.
The inconsistency I mentioned in the previous point consists in the fact that when the Allied declared outlaw the anti-tank rifle, the sub-machine gun and the LP08, the aforementioned Reichswehr document, as far as I know, has not been updated.
Therefore, formally, there are German documents that still consider LP08, TG18 and MP18 as allowed gun in disagreement with the Interallied indication.
Maybe, thank you to this ambiguity, we still have some beautiful double date LP08.
Cheers,
Mauro
