Need help on a P-08 decision

While I agree with Ron that I'd have taken the 1916, there were no bad choices and you made an excellent buy.

The 1920 property stamp means it was in government service during the Weimar Republic era and the unit stamp is also from that period. I believe it translates to Company 3, Infantry Regiment 10, weapon number 8.

Thank you so much for the information. I haven’t had a chance to research the grip markings. So from what I understand from you, the regiment markings are from WW2 era use? I knew it didn’t have any police markings after it was marked 1920. I was hoping it saw action in WW2 as that is where my main collection is from.
I bought another P-38 from my local contact after he texted me on Saturday. This is a 1943 Walther in matching like new condition, with WW2 AC magazine and holster. It is a nice compliment to my 1944 Mauser P-38. I don’t think I really need a Spreeworks; maybe.
I need to sell an extra M1-Carbine and M1 Garand to afford all these new German pistols. LOL
