Help on figuring out P08 Luger details

Hi Don and welcome to this Forum of Luger enthusiasts.
From your pictures I think you've got a nice gun, but it depends on what you want it for, are you looking for a collectible to keep in the safe or to a shooter for the range?
For the reasons mentioned above that I share, probably that Luger cannot qualify as a vintage collectible but it's probably a very good shooter.
Hence if you get it I would advise you to have it checked by a reliable armourer first as these old warhorses should never be fired with modern high speed and high power ammunition.
Safe shooting.
