Hello Forum, I recently purchased my first P08. After breaking it down and giving it a good cleaning, I tested the pistol successfully. Unfortunately, I've suffered a broken fing pin. In researching a repalcement for the pin I have learned that my pistol's orignal firing pin should have been the "unfluted" type. However, mine was fllutted and interestingly numbered to the rest of the pistol. So I have a couple of questions: 1: was the firing pin design change between the wars an improvement in reliability?
and 2: since mine is a police gun ( sear saftey added and nickled mag with numbered to the gun aluminum base), could that have been when the firing pin style "switch" was made?

Thanks.
