I was looking around on GB and came across this...

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=455104557

The red flags went off for me with a few things on the finish. Selfishly I hate to raise attention to a good opportunity but in this case I'm not in the bidding mood rather the learning mood.

For me the flags are the how light the Waffens are on the toggle and the lack of toggle marks on the rear. Also the matte finish on the slide, the presence of possible buffed out pits, and the pin and bar coloration (on toggle). Finally to some extent the plum coloration on the rear of the toggle. I have experience seeing plum on P38s but I can't say I've seen it with P08s... of course I'm very novice when it comes to P08s.

So what do you guys think? Am I right to have concern with originality???
