Look in the Technical Section of this site, then they are also reproduced in Costanza's book ($200-$250 used), and in several other luger books.

It is in several books, I am just unsure which ones, if I have time I'll look.

Thanks Dwight....that was what I was looking for!
I thought these letters were Gothic. This will help me ID P08's. BB
