Hello Phillip, LP08s have not been made since 1918. My LP 08 artillery ( Arty ) is a 1918 DWM. It is a numbers matching, nicely refinished example. The refinishing means that a true collector would put it back on the table. Mine is what they call a "Shooter". I paid $1500 for it and am HAPPY. If you want a collectible quality example double that figure. Google Simpsons LTD Lugers and you will see what high-end retail has to offer ( at least they have a good reputation ). Other than that you just have to get lucky and keep you nose to the ground. Post a Want To Buy on this forum. Read the back threads and learn all you can. People here are very helpful. Good Luck!! Joe
