Thank you Steinar and George, i apriciate your help.

The proof marks are on the left side as the pics shows, so, as I understand it is a 1909 made, p08.
And yes, the pistol has the hold open funktion.

I took it last night for a through cleanup and inspection. Most of the pitting on the outside were loose and came off easy and the blueing turned out to be much better than i expected. On the inside it was simply excellent. Everithing tight and funktion is flawless. The barrel is a bit pitted after corrosive ammo but the rifling is bright and sharp.
All numbers match except the magasines which i got two of, one grey with wooden base which i belive is the right one for this pistol, and one WWII, blued with aluminium base. I also got a WWII holster (1939) and one box of orginal german WWII p08 ammo (16 rnds.)

But.....To the range tonight and lets see how it shoots as I am going to enjoy this pistol to the full, both on range and off.

And....Thanks for the camera tips. I will try this during the weekend.

All the best:
Ingvar
