Welcome to the forum, Bob!

Your upper was made from a 1914 military P.08's barrel extension and an aftermarket barrel which was very crudely installed. The barrel extension was over-worked, as is evidenced by the shallowness of the 1914 manufacture date. It could be set up as a novelty piece for shooting, whether by you or someone else. One member recently bought an LP.08 (Artillery) upper, which he puts atop the frame of another gun--now it's two in one.
