No Fine tune sights and Unit Marked 1917 L P08 "Artillery"

Norm,
you are corrrect, and I hope/think/wish them to be "original"; your observations are spot on and I thank you for them.

However if I were buying and I was/did- I considered them to be mis-matched at least, replacements maybe; and negotiated a better price on that basis.

All my other 1917 Artilleries and my 1918 have 2 digit (numbered to the pistol grips).
If I were selling this one, I could not in good conscience call them original- only that the "could be".

But you can be sure I'll print out your post and evaluation and put it in the file for this pistol!
