Don,
Do you think it interesting that the grip strap marking on the P-08 in auction# 318763516 is identical to the one on my 2203a that you and I discussed several years ago? To refresh your memory mine is a 1920 dated EWaA4 proofed 9mm police pistol and you speculated at the time that the marking on mine could have been short the weapon number for some reason as S.Hn11. seemed to be short a digit. I was going to send Wayne a note asking him for his thoughts, as I sense from some of the auction notes that he might have been in contact with this seller, but I've lost Wayne's email address. Perhaps you might have already discussed some of the nice looking police pistols this seller has listed with Wayne? I'm not suggesting that any of these pistols up for auction are not correct, but am curious why 2 police pistols from the same unit might have the same abbreviated grip strap marking.
Thx, Lyn
