My puppy stands guard over my latest LP08 ... a 1916 DWM attached to a stock & holster by his feet.



All matching (390 a) except for the take down lever (27) and the mag.

There is a chip in the stock lug which doesn't affect its attachment to a stock.

Both grips are numbered as is the firing pin and hold-open.

I also acquired a 1916 Artillery holster in a separate deal.

That brings to 3 the number of LP.08's in my collection

All 3 have the front & rear precision sights.
