That's an idea, might transfer the salient questions and answers to one there.

Yes, this could and likely is the second barrel. Long P 08s were used by the police for a couple years or more and then the barrels shortened or replaced, and by the Navy. This one was clearly worked over again in "Nazi" times.

OK, if the "or more" could incorporate almost two decades between early twenties and late thirties...

The rear sight is unusual, I've not seen or read about one "added" or built up. But it could be and looks the part. The govt. arsenals in Weimar or Nazi times, would have had plenty of rear toggles and not needed to build a sight-IMO.

Availability of spare toggles at depots is a good point. Confusing, for sure.

Might get more eyes on it in another spot in its own thread- but I'm glad you posted it here first!

Where do I send the $400 check?

I'll forward my address, so you can send that check and a couple more! $750 at RIAC, "apparaised" at $3k!--which might be a tad high...
