It is a 1913 dated P08 (military). Weimar property marking was added 1920 or later.

At some point, probably during the twenties, the pistol was put into police use as is evidenced by the grip strap marking. As the police marking has been X'd out and there is no police safety, it may have subsequently left police service and gone back to the military.
