I agree with the consensus that this is a former military LP-08. Why the date was ground off is a mystery.
I think Jamese comment about the date of manufacture is correct as well, since the artillery sights are not the "fine tune" variety...
Congrats on a fine Luger Laura...
I highly recommend that you save this piece of history for YOUR grandchildren.... I also recommend that you order a copy of Mauro's book on the Artillery Luger as an addition to this fine gun.
Welcome to the Lugerforum.
