P 08 Magazine serial 2208.....I.D. help please?

Firstly, Hello to all on here, I have had a quick look around and certainly am impressed by the wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm on here!

My situation is that I reside in the UK, so although I shot pistol many years ago, it is sadly now the case that I concentrate on collecting and shooting vintage air rifles....However, I have acquired recently a magazine for a P08, and a internet search for information on dating and identification led me to this forum. I would appreciate any information that anyone would care to offer, and who knows, maybe the owner of the gun that this was once supplied with may be on here (a long shot I know, but stranger things happen).

I would be interested to know it's value, if any, and if this forum is run like other one's I post on, I will state here and now, that this is for valuation purposes only, and if I decide to sell, (after a suitable number of posts etc.) then a sales thread will be created separately.

The magazine has some bumps and marks, but the platform travels the full length smoothly, with good spring pressure.

Phew...a lot for a first post, and hope this is acceptable to the mods, pictures below on link to flikr;

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, regards, Ed
