HI All,

I wanted a shooter P-08 for along time. I lived in NYC and could not have a pistol there LOCAL LAWS are STUPID!.
Thirty-five years later I saw all the Russian capture pistols coming in to the country.and was going to buy one.
The guy I went to the show with said he had one & never shot it. I told him if it was in the same shape the Russians were, I would buy his.

Well I bought it and later found out it was a Mauser Banner 1940 Police P-08. He bought it from a old non-com he served with in Nam ,he got it in Holland.

I bought a nice 1917 late model Artillery at the MAX show last year. I had a VERY knowledgable member here look it over. THANKS George A.
The story was a military police officer found it in a bunker, a few days after the action passed in that area.

I'm looking for a good/ nice/fair repro wood stock. If any of you have updated your collection let me know what you have & how much you want for it.

Be well,
broomhandle
