Help Identifying a "Blank: Luger?
I collect Dutch Lugers and recently picked one up that I thought was Dutch based on the presence of a brass side plate. On closer inspection, I see no "RUST" marked safety, no "GELADEN" on the extractor, no acceptance marks, not even a manufacturer's identification. The style of the brass plate, the lettering font, and the letters themselves also don't appear to reflect Dutch usage. The only markings are a serial no 5 that appears in quite a few places. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this pistol might be all about?

Can we see the left side, too?
Sideplate and sear. Are there any other numbered parts ? (inside ?) Very curious P.08, I think, but I need to see more details. |

The brass unit plate looks nothing like other examples I've observed. Pretty sure it's been renumbered. The "5" on the rear of the toggle and upper frame looks new.
