Bill et al, Toward the end of WW1, both DWM & Erfurt (mostly) used their left over LPO8 notched receiver to build 4" barrelled PO8 as needed. The most common story that I hear from WW2 vets, is that many captured Germans removed the side plate to render there pistol unoperable before turning it in to their captors. Nothing worse than being shot with your own sidearm. TH
