Hello to all, I've been away for a while but its good to be back. I recently purchaced a nice Luger P-08 handgun. The seller had no information about the origins or age. I have only a basic knowledge myself. So, I am asking if any of you guys might be able to help me identify the particular model that I have . Mainly when it might have been produced. I do have a few pictures to send along but they are not very detailed.
As far as markings, it has the DWM scroll on the top of the lever, which I think confirms that it might have been built in Berlin. On the side of the toggle is a crown N. This same crown over N appears under the barrel just above the serial number which is 86314. There is also what looks like a crown over N marking on the left side of the upper housing, just above the break down lever. I consider left and right to be if looking from the rear forward. Just below the rear sight on the back of the toggel is 14. I suppose that this refers to the last 2 didgets in the serial number. I may be wrong. And thats about it. Is it enough to go on?
Luckily, all of my numbers match. And the pistol is in fairly good shape. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help. Talk soon, stan
