1910 DMW P-O8 Luger

I am finally getting around to getting some information on a Luger that has been in my family since prior to WW II.

It's 1910 DWM P-O8 Luger . I am a gun guy, but not a Luger collector. I had a smith who collected Lugers go over it several years ago and clean it up. He told me not to shoot it, put it away and buy another 9mm -- which I did.

OK - about this Luger. The serial number is all numerals 6_19. I have found the serial number on the frame and on the barrel. They match. I have a 19 on the ejector and the toggle. Where else do I look for numbers. If I remember correctly, the smith said that all of the numbers matched except one.

No "hold open" provision.

The magazines are period correct but do not match the gun. The holster is also period correct but unfortunately was probably "customized" by the "dogface" who liberated the gun and holster and brought it home from his "over there" experience.

Right now I would appreciate information on where to look for the matching numbers. Any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
