Default P08 s/n 2960

Hello all I am new to this forum.
The name is Martin I joint this forum to learn more about Luger pistols, mostly the gun smithing part of it.

I lost a P08, I had from the old country that was given to me by a old friend and resistance fighter .
The gun was taken from a raid on a V2 launching site in my home town.

A magazine article made me want a Luger back.
Since I live in Canada our handguns with barrels shorter than 4" are so dangerous that they are declared prohibited .
A 100mm Luger barrel is to short.

I bought a Luger s/n 2960 ( don't know manufacturer ) and have it sent to a gunsmith to have it rebarreled to 4.050" (5mm longer) this will make it a not so dangerous gun and then can be reclassified to restricted.

I bought the gun for $675 the rebarreling $300 I just hope it all works out.

I wonder if anybody can shine some light on this gun all I have seen is pic and I don't know how to post pics

Regards Martin
