Ed,

I agree that the receiver cut and Imperial-era date & proofs do not necessarily define a former LP08, but if you add the features of the PTV stamp on the barrel and not having had a police marking on the grip strap prior to 1930, you have a strong case. I was hoping that you and Dwight would pursue this topic for your new book on police Lugers.
