German Officers Pistol

My grandfather, god rest his soul, brought back a P08 from WWII. He claimed he had taken it from th body of a german officer. I am trying to find out as much about it as possible. It is nickle plated and has the Nazi ensignia(eagle and swaztika) printed on the side of it 3 times and 1 more time on the barrel. It has black plastic grips and the letters byf engraved across the top. The plating is original though it has corroded a little because of the holster it was once stored in. Can anyone tell me about this weapon?
