Hi Curt, A hold-open is the latch that holds the action open after the last shot has been fired, and is the L shaped piece in the bottom center of the photo. Early P08's were made without this feature, but most were retrofitted in 1914, except those that were issued to Bavarian units. Regards, Norm
