Foxdoublegunner:

In 1914, a “typical” infantry regiment had 90 P.08s within its 3 battalions and its machinegun company had another 80 P.08s for a regimental total of 170 Lugers. My source for this information is “Handbuch Deutscher Waffenstempel” by Wacker and Gortz.

Of course, this assumes I translated German correctly. Perhaps someone more familiar with this information or more fluent in German can confirm this number…..
