P08 Commercial with stock lug are made after the military introduction of the stock lug in 1913.

Dwight,
I did read that post, twice in fact. My heads still swimming?

I understand that what you say is correct, it is just that if I write:
"new model parabellum", near everyone will ask "which model"!

Thanks for the clarification, 1913 it is.
