I am new to collecting Lugers. I just bought a P08. I was drawn to it because of how clean it was, how much of the finish is remaining and that it is all matching. It is a 1940 with a "42" on the toggle. The serial number is 3288 and there is a script "M" below the serial number. It has what looks like a double eagle over 656 and a single eagle over 355. These are on the right side of the frame and next to a nazi eagle. There are similar nazi eagle proof scattered aroung the pistol. Can anyone tell me more about this? What doest the script "M" mean?
