Klaus -
I very much appreciate your information and input as always. Klaus if you have much more info that is easier for you to type in German, please feel free do so. I can copy and paste your post, and then hit translate to English in a word document. I think(?)

Klaus-
Do you recall discussing the AWM 3-11 holster that came with this gun in the holster forum? You told me it was Bavarian and we discussed the regiments stamped on the holster. The german that submitted this gun said he was the Oberbürgermeister von München.

Please see the thread where you posted the photo of your grandfather in the holster thread.This is thread where we discussed the regiments.

Also, I found out that there was a .22 barell with this gun. Did the .22 barrel come later during the 1930-1940's, or were there .22 barrels during Imperial times?

Pistol, the Selbstladeeinstecklauf (S.E.L) in cal. 22 for the P08 was introduced on the 1. Oktober 1932 in the Army and apportioned by the "supply place" (Nachschubverbindungsstelle) Spandau. The older subcalibrebarrels in 4mm went back to the arsenals Spandau, Kassel and Königsberg.
The large wooden boxes were made until 1934 when the R.G. 34 (Reinigungsgerät 34) replaced the cleaning rods in cal. 22. Then came the small wooden boxes.
