Just for the sake of discussion:

No archive material has been found that supports the existance of Spandau lugers. We know that the Spandau arsenal reworked 9mm Navy lugers and Artilleries to 10cm barrel versions in order to comply with IACC demands, some archive material about that work is available, but there is no proof that Spandau ever marked these pistols with their own name, or ever had a production facility for the P08.
