Gun won't fire!
Rylan,
You're probably in the right area thinking it is a sideplate issue, but there are other factors. You might want to do a search in the forum, there have been many articles concerning this problem. I have found that trigger levers that have been over worked are sometimes the problem. Yours looks to have been filed on somewhat. Of course a mismatched sideplate could be the culprit, but yours looks to be numbered to the gun.
I had a BYF 42, that had an odd sideplate, that wouldn't fire and I made all kinds of changes on it and never could get it to fire.
So, I would check out all of the forum threads and maybe post in the area of mechanical issues or repairs or whatever.
Unfortunately I'm not anywhere close to being an expert in these areas, so hopefully someone with more knowledge will offer some sage advice or perhaps you will find the answer elsewhere in the forum. Good luck, and happy hunting. It does look like a nice P-08, hope you get it working, they are fun to shoot.
Just searching some of the information on this forum is a great and informative way to spend some time. Enjoy it and learn.
Barry
