Alvin, you are correct that your gun, with an "n" suffix but without a chamber date, was made in 1923 as a commercial. John's gun, with an "n" suffix and with a 1920 chamber date, was made in 1920 under a contract for military and police P08s. They are separate series. The 1920-dated n-suffix pistols are a bit of a puzzle.
