Help with Identifing Markings 1914 P08

higherauthority · 09-18-2012, 11:53 PM

Hello all, I am new to these forums I love collecting WW2 and WW1 Military collectibles I always wanted a luger just never saw one that cought my eye until recently. I am no expert so I apoligize for the lack of knowlege.

I do know its a dwm 1914 that much is clear. I am told its a Military from WW1. The story on this is that it was brought back by a US GI after WW2. It came with a holster with the nazi eagle stamped with WaA788. It had a QMC 499 tag on it. When I went back to pick it up someone who worked there lost the QMC tag

. If this was made in 1914 this could of seen use through WW1 and WW2 possibly ??? I wish this thing could talk to me then I would know for sure but we all know it does not work like that.

Does anyone know what these markings mean. All sn match on every part of it except the magazine that has a wood bottom. benethe the barrel looking from the front it shows 8,82 What is that? (I could not get a good pic of that everything else see attachments. Thanks for looking.
