What your opinion on this 1915 Model?

Other than the mismatching rear sight, everything else appears to match. If the bore is decent, the price is not bad IMO. Most LP-08 Lugers, even mixmasters, will sell for more.

I was curious about the Spandau/Erfurt style eagle on the receiver as I normally associate it with Erfurt Lugers or parts. There were no LP-08 Lugers made by Erfurt in 1915. I THINK I found the answer in Goetz & Sturgess. The Special Contract rules that DWM accepted stationed inspectors from the Spandau Royal Arsenal at DWM. They used the Spandau Eagle stamp and I think one of them stamped the subject receiver.
