Period documents indicate there were 442 P08s in the inventory of the LPDSWA in October 1912. With this new one, I have recorded 18 -- about 4% of the original number. This is a relatively high "survival rate" compared with other German police units. These will be covered in some detail in my forthcoming book History Writ in Steel.

Thanks very much for posting this Piet.
