1918 Erfurt, Odd Grip Panel Marking

[Schupo]

Lawrence,

The safety alterations on the P.08 were generally limited to the Prussian Schutzpolizei and the Ordnungspolizei and did not apply to the Bahnpolizei. I would not expect to normally see safety alterations on Deutsche Reichsbahn lugers. I don't know about gripstrap markings. DR rifles and bayonets were sometimes unit marked, so it is possible.
