need LP-08 advice

Ida-Alp · 09-16-2005, 10:16 PM

I picked up this pistol at a local gun show and need some advice on repairs and values--

I would like know the feasibility of restoring the sight and toggle--

The holster looks like it's had some rework--I'd like to have it restored if
possible. The makers mark is-- H Hoffmann Jr--Berlin--1917. In with the unmarked tool was the springy thingy. I'm assuming it's a bonus.

The grips are unmarked, and in good condition which seems to match the very clean bore. All parts have matching numbers. The gun is serialed
8774 m with a matching magazine(the wood bottom is broken with 74 m +
still showing). I have a second mag(9476 m +) in very god condition.
I will need a new firing pin and extractor before firing it. Also a couple Mec Gar mags will be needed. That should be a good start. Any info will be
sorely needed. Thanks--Al
