New Luger, no date, no proofs, but Military numbers

[mrerick]

David, My 1917 lP08 is from the "k" block, and it has a die stamp that looks very similar to the one on your undated p.08

the loop on top of the letter, the upturned tail on the right...

But I can see that the center of the right hand loop on your suffix doesn't tough the vertical staff, and there is an additional 45 degree mark going the the right at the center of my letter....

Perhaps yours is something put together by DWM after WW-I from WW-I surplus (and partially proofed) parts. A true "sneak" in 9mm...
