I started readng up on LP08's a while back, and several months ago I acquired my first, a common 1917 I'll post here later. I started reading about the various years and about rarity among those years. Just coincidentally I had been reading about 1915 dated DWM's and lo and behold, one shows up on GB. By the end of the week it only had one bid on it, and I thought it was getting away a little to inexpensively. I put a second bid on it expecting the typical feeding frenzy to start on it in the last 15 minutes.

Nothing happened and I left with it to my mild surprise. It not only is a 1915, but it has a period black-9 stamped into a correctly matched left grip. While the auction was running, I also did as much reading as I could on the '9' marked grips. The right grip is the only mismatched part on the pistol. Has fine-tune front and rear sights. DWM LP08's only made it into the a-suffix range in 1915, and I am happy with this one.
