Buying a 1915 LP08...

[Norme]

Hi Andrew, Welcome to the forum! We prefer that you post photos directly on the forum, it's more work for you but it's more convenient for forum members, and they don't disappear over time. Your LP08 appears to be original although well worn. The three magazines (one of which has a later beech wood base) have been renumbered. DWM magazines do not have inspection marks, which are an Erfurt feature. They should also have the serial suffix letter stamped on them. The stock looks like it could be original but the leather looks too good to be true. Drum magazines were not numbered to the gun, they had their own numbering sequence. Be very cautious buying a Type 2 drum, there are many fakes out there, and they are believed to originate in eastern Europe. Best regards, Norm

Well I don't really see why the photos should disappear from my server , and there is very little extra work resizing them. The reason why I did not is that details are important, and shrinking kills them.

Nevertheless, if preferred, of course here they are -- but still, if anyone's going to help (which I do appreciate much), consider please the original images linked from my first message: they are considerably bigger and thus more precise. Thanks again!
