From 1934 onwards, the cleaning rods were abandoned officially and the RG34 cleaning kit was introduced instead. The RG34 was used for the rifles, pistols and machine guns.

There was also a special version of the RG34 for cleaning the .22lr training sets, the RG34a.

The cotton laces in the second photo is genuine; If these are not original for p08 do you know from what gun it is ; I have exactly the same 20 packets
