The marking on the left flat is GERMANY. A rather ugly place to put country of origin. There is something else on the LP08 but I can't read it. To make matters worse, on the bottom of the barrel they mislabeled the 1906 Waffenfabrik Bern as "06/24 7.65" and the 1906 DWM Swiss as "1906 Luger 7.65". These folks feel that they are complying to the letter with import laws, but they have gone about it in a rather ham-handed way and really messed up some very nice guns.
