The frames were not marked P.08 until 1941. The markings on the frame have nothing whatsoever to do with the SS. Do not shoot this gun...it is in fantastic condition and would command top dollar for this category of Luger. If you break a numbered part, you could reduce the value by half depending on what part broke. You were extremely lucky with your first Luger purchase and would be well advised to treat it conservatively. Congratulations.
