My 1st P.08, a 1914 Erfurt

[drbuster]

Goerge's explanation, or course, could be absolutely correct, no one knows for sure. And notching did begin in 1916. And Mike, the feeling is that these guns probably left the factory like this and were not "boosted" subsequently. The "a" block was indeed reached with original 1914's as the serialization was not consecutive, LP.08's were interspersed.
