Thanks for helping! The P08 has also 2 waffenamt (eagle + 135), and the s/n (all matching) is 1121, no suffix. I'm not able to recognize original grips, otherwise the plastic seems to be old (bachelite). There are not numbers or marks inside. The magazine is not original, in alu with plastic black bottom, but the price is now 850 euro, with transporting case and cleaning kit, shipping included.
What I have to check more before running to buy?
About 9X21 round, all weapons in war-type calibers (as 9 para, 5.56 NATO, etc.) are not allowed here. So, if you want to own a Luger, a P 38 and so on, you have to accept a "reworked" chamber, which is able to be feeded by a different caliber. The round in question has the case 2 mm longer then 9 para, but the ball is insered deeper in it, so the difference is just 1 mm (and the pistol "rechambered" has a chamber 1 mm shorter).
The 9X21 IMI (Israeli military industries) is the caliber more similar to the 9X19, for lenght and power, so is choosen for ex-military pistols (reworked) or civilian versions (as the Beretta 98F, which is a 92F model in this caliber).
This law has no sense, as many others, but is the law.
Thanks again Frank and thanks Tom H(anks?)
