I see nothing to say it is not what is described.
Price may be a little on the high side, at a $2650 start.

Hi Tom,
As Don has said, the gun looks original and I too think the price is on the high side. Bear in mind, 1917 Artilleries are far and away the most common and this gun is not fitted with fine-tune sights front or rear..

TKS, Norm, I checked with Jans' Imperial Lugers and he puts the number 1917 at 90,000, the most of any year!! Where did they all go?

Technically a P08 is the 4 inch - the LP08 is the artillery

Looks like a nice 17.FXO mag bottom is cracked.Worth 2200 to 2400 if all parts match.

Seems to be a nice LP14 but ask for a picture with the sight on 800 m to see the "dedent" ((google traduction for crantage in french))
About and for this price the sight must be all ok !
