Newbie question

Hi. I am just starting to look at Lugers as a collectable item. Have a fairly deep background with modern firearms but not so much with older models.

First question. In looking online (Simpson and Legacy) I see some that are marked "P 08" towards the back by the safety. Is that a import mark as most I am looking at don't have it?

#2. On some there is a "shiney" diamond shape piece ahead of the toggle. It is numbered but is not on all of the models I see. What is this? Is a model with it more desirable?

Thanks for your tolerance of new guy questions!!
