Darell, From your description, it sounds as thought you have one of the recently imported, Soviet captured Nazi era lugers,as the reworkers seemed to want to electric pencil "matching numbers" on parts that didn't match. Also a 1938 PO8 should NOT have mags with FXO marked on the tube (this did not begin until 1941), so that I would guess that even if the number matches, that it is a larger die set than the serials on the frame and not original Mauser issue. These pistols are normally importer marked under the barrel or somewhere on the frame. See my ad in the for sale section for more of these. Tom
