Hi,

You sure need some good reference info.

Drop the '1914' for starters. The military P08 (pistole 08) purchased by the german army had the production date on the chamber. So that makes your 1917 DWM LP08 a 1917 DWM LP08, and your 1918 Erfurt a 1918 Erfurt.

Furthermore, not a single military pistol had ivory grips on it. The grips are post-war add ons. S/42 was a code issued to Mauser. So, a 1936 Mauser S/42 with later grips (would have been wood originally).

Without photos it's difficult to do a proper assessement.
