It sounds more like a 1906 first issue rather than a 1908. The 1906 first issue had the "GESICHERT" marking in the lower position and was made safe with the thumb safety in the upper position. Most were later altered to reverse the safety postion and were re-marked "Gesichert" in the upper position.
