Max,
YES...LP08's along with ALL other Lugers are being boosted.
Here is a web site link to study a decent one. It was advertised as "refinished" but I think it was original finish.
Look for the "halo" effect around the numbers on the underside of the barrel, on the left side of the receiver, and on some of the 2-digit numbers on the top of the breechblock and toggle link.
There are faint traces of "fire blue" on some of the pins and parts of the rear sight as well.
Has some nice "patina" showing through the gun's blue as well...if your PC screen has a high-rez to see it...
There is even some nice rust in the bottom of a couple of the numbers of the serial number on the front of the frame.

Even some standard P08 Lugers are being "turned into" an Artilllery model with the right barrel added and receiver notch added...
