I was looking through Still's, "Central Powers Pistols", 2007, and it appears some stats have changed. 1917 DWM LP.08 is still the most common encountered LP08 with an estimated production of 90,000 but unit marked '17 arties are now estimated at five percent. There are also four Lugers unit marked to the 72nd Reserve photographed in this reference book. Mine makes five. Oh well, not as scarce as I thought, but I'm still grinning!
