JD, what was done to the LP08 is a real shame as it is a relatively scarce date. If the filler can be tapped out and the added(?) rear sight machined off, you can hide and watch and wait for an LP08 rear sight to show up in the marketplace.

The rear sight is going to cost at least a hundred bucks so figure from there and add the gunsmithing costs as well to the cost of the gun.

An all original 1917 dated LP08 will cost you about $1200-$2000 depending on the market area and your luck. There is one on Gunbroker.com now that is getting auction weary and can probably be had for less than a grand; maybe $650-$700 as they have previously turned down a high bid of $600. The pistol is listed by a fellow in Texas and seems to be devoid of original finish.

Good hunting.
