Jim, you have a P08 first model military, it probably left the DWM factory in 1909. The fact that it does not have a hold-open added is a good indication that it did not see police use after the first war. The property marking on the front grip strap indicates Bayerische Militaer-Schiess-Schule (Bavarian Military Gunnery School). A very good find and worth considering getting the side plate "fixed".
