Post Earliest LP-08 Pistols...?

Was reading in Mauro Baudino's new book on Artillery Lugers that early evaluations of the LP-08 occurred in the first half of 1913 and was formally accepted by Captain A. Fisher in the June-July 1913 timeframe...

Any agreed-upon thoughts as to what LP-08 pistols were used for these evaluations in 1913 ? How many pistols were involved in the evaluations ? What serial numbers, if known...

Would these LP-08's have been un-dated pistols (maybe like the 1st. Issue P-08's) or would they have had an earlier chamber date (i.e. 1913) or did they have 1914 chamber dates ?

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
