Glenn,
Generally, the 1900's would be "old model"--with a frame that is around 1/8" longer than a P.08. I think the difference is made up in the breech block. The change from long frame to "new model" happened--I think-- around 1906, but you better look it up to be certain. I have two 1906 AEs, one is long frame, the other short.
