This is a reply from another forum. What do you think?

"Seems what you have there is a military P08 configuration, pre-1914 because it doesnt have the stock lug attachment. Date on chamber would be 1910 to 1913 (a rarity would be a 1914 date as few of these were produced without the stock lug during the transition period) An undated chamber, combined with left side receiver (bbl extension) proofs would indicate a 1908 type pistol which was the first model Luger adopted by the German Army.

Mag is a 1940-42 production, extruded body with either FXO markings (1941-42) or 122 markings for a 1940."
