Hello Fellows,
I would like to highlight that in the 1942-43 some LP08 were modified with an automatic device. One of these pistols is in the Mr. Regnier collection, the number 9. I have analyzed this pistol during a visit I have done to Mr. Regnierlast year. I have presented this pistol at page 67, 68, 69 and 70 of my book. It seems that this lp08 was captured in French on 1944.
In addition this pistol has been presented by Mr. Gortz in an article in the prestigious Deutsches Waffen-Journal (August รข?? October 1981).
This to stress that some LP08 were used during the WWII as well.
Ciao
Mauro
