Ron,
According to Still's Central Powers Pistols (pg.78), an amenment was added to the dimensional tables for the P08 in November 1916. The cut for the rear sight on Erfurt P08's didn't start until late 1916. Some late 1916 and almost all 1917 and 1918 Erfurts have this cut. 1914 Erfurt P08's don't have the cut.
