My first P08

Ciao everybody,
I'm Paolo from Italy and I bought this Mauser yesterday.

Rumours here in Italy say that it should be from the '70, reworked by Mauser, but the blueing looks like it was made few days ago. I can tell you that I spent half night removing the preservative grease on the mechanic and the complete absence of wear on the rails shows that it was never fired.
Below the trigger plate I found some marking. I've identified the first as a proof of test with smokeless ammo, the second is the logo of the testing facility in Koln-Germany, the third is "KI" that I suspect is the year of the test, but I'm not sure, the forth and last is a kind of "F" on top or 2 "W".

I really appreciate if somebody could educated me about my new p08.
