Can anyone verify this?

Hi Sieger, P08's were originally sighted for 100 meters and had a front sight blade 5.0mm tall. In 1914 this was changed to 50 meters by fitting a blade 5.5mm tall. Most of the earlier guns were retrofitted with the taller blade at the same time as they had hold-opens added. Regards, Norm
