1. Only to military, and military caliber was allowed by the police (9mm). In the early 1920's Simson & co was declared (wrong wording??) the official refurbisher and could make new P08's, they did so in 1925.

2. Evidently DWM was still making lugers for the military in the first year - 3 years after WW1, so you see 1920 and 1921 dated DWM's. They must have been stopped because suddenly you don't see any 1922's or 1923's.
