Hello Alberto,

Congratulations on finding a very fine LP-08 rig. Occasionally, some LP-08 rigs will have a magazine with a blued body indicating that it was probably captured in the Scandavanian region of Europe during WWII. It was done to reduce reflection from the body during removal of the magazine. I also have a matching LP-08 rig having the same characteristic on the magazine body. I know for a fact that my rig was captured by the Danish resistance forces and went to Sweden during WWII. After the war, a friend had purchased it in 1963 from the chief of the Danish resistance who made his home in Sweden.

Albert
