Hi,

It is a documented fact that after 1917 the demand for P08's (and thus for the LP08 as well) dropped. After peak production runs the German army's arsenals were stockpiled with lugers and DWM cut down on their production.

Most probably they just sought other ways to sell left-over supplies during the late war years. Also, during the collapse of the german reich and the subsequent allied control during 1918-1920 a lot of things happened. Staff were discharged and only small 'skeleton crews' remained to watch over the company. A lot of material must also have been carried out by people who lost their jobs and decided not to leave empty handed.
