New one, Dutch P08

Vlim · 10-09-2002, 02:15 PM

Hi,

Just recently joined the forum after buying my first P08. I've been looking around for a good shooter, so a restored or renovated P08 with unmatching numbers would be a good choice. I managed to find one in The Hague (the Netherlands) and to my surprise it turned out to be a Dutch one. The basic parts are the 1928 delivered frame (10.000 range serial nr) and the 1937-ish barrel assembly. It's 'Kolonien'stamped, has the crown/nitro mark and the brass tag soldered to the side. When I get all the paperwork done (lots here [img]smile.gif[/img] I'll be sure to get a photo of it on the forum.

One question however, for which I've heard lotsa different answers and comments:

What commercially available make/type of 9mm luger ammo is most suited for these old beasts?
