David,
Thank You I purchased the E-Book it is great.
I did as you suggested as well as comparing the SS Luger to my 1936 P-08 and I found two things:
#1. The rear tip of the Hold Open Lever is warn and rounded over slightly where it contacts the indent on the underside of the Breechblock.
#2 The SS Luger Magazine does not push the Hold Open Lever as high as my 1936 model.
It looks like the Hold open lever is of the same design on both guns except one is Stainless Steel.
I have attached 3 pictures, #1 the SS Luger, #2 My 1936 P-08 and #3 the two guns side by side.
