Serial number 608 is a very early Luger, probably still in the Type I thumb safety lever range and produced in early 1901. Since the 9mm was not introduced until 1902 in the 22,000 serial number range, it is unlikely that the calber of #608 is original.

Orv, can you post the picture that was e-mailed to you or can you send it to me?
