Hello Josh,
welcome to the forum you have a fine P08 there. Is it a matching magazine also? Nice to get information from the historical context too.

Greetings from Germany I wish you a happy new year,
Thomas

Wow, just wow. A beautiful Luger and proof of history also. What a great set.

Nothing serialed on the magazine bottom, but I'm not sure if that is "correct" or not as I know that was stopped in late '41 - I'm just not sure if mine is a late '41 gun. I do know based on what I have previously read here that the magazine is in the correct range with the correct markings for this pistol (fxo - 37).

Hi Josh,
as the magazines usually were'nt numbered we can assume it as matching, being at least of the correct type for your P08.
Mine is a byf 42, but it came with a mag stamped 2/1001 which was provided by the gunsmith who did the bluing job.
As it jammed sometimes I replaced it with a fxo 37, black plastic base. Works perfect now.
