Hi Joe, Early P08's (prior to mid 1913) were sighted in at 100 meters and had front sight blades 5mm high. Later guns were adjusted for 50 meters and had blades 5.5mm high. Most early guns were retrofitted with the taller sight at the same time as the hold-open was added. If you have the earlier bade you should have no trouble exchanging it for the newer one as they are quite rare. Regards, Norm
