help to identify my p08

[muccax]

Hi All,
I have a question for all of you experts on Luger
I believe that it is a 1908 Commerical, but I am not sure.
I will give you guys the information on the pistol, and would appreciate any information that you could give to me.
it has the b.u g and 118.35 and a s and 41208 on the barrel
On the top of the gun is scrolled DWM ..it is a 9mm
the frame has a serieal nr 1 and no markings anywhere
it has a wood grip and stock lug no grip safety
is it a parts gun ?
If anyone can help, it would be great.

muccax, Your left grip is cut for a grip safety. A left side view of frame with the grip removed would help to determine whether your mismatched frame is from a M1906 or 1908. The number under the barrel, could be for either model. Also a shot of the top of the receiver would be helpful. TH

PS: The stock lug was not added to most PO8 frames until DEc 1913. TH

Frame never was for a grip safety luger and with stock lug would date to 1914 or after, but the 1914 commericals did not begin until about serial #75xxx. TH

Tom,

FYI 1914 Commercials begin mid-71xxx. Doesn't alter your point, though.
