New member trying to figure out date of manufacture on my P08

Hi Ed,

First of all many thanks for your interest and help - I appreciate your thoughts and efforts.

Ahhhh, the pencil method gave me 4" on the money!

The only rt or lft side marks that I can find are what I included as photos in my album. I do notice there seems to be some marks on the side of what I call the ejector pin which resides at the front of the toggle assembly. It is hard to make out what is on the left side of the pin without taking it all apart but it looks like "n b 1EHb". Also the left side of the toggle assembly at the front has a "72" stamped on it just like at the rear under the rear site. Does this mean the toggle is from a different gun perhaps??

Interesting to hear about the identical serial numbers. Strange there wasn't more coordination knowing how methodical German engineering can be.
