strange P08

Sounds like a first issue P08 with magazine and sear safety modifications with a missing sear safety, exposing the cutout on top of the side plate.

Military P08 that was transferred to the police

Wow, I am impressed ...and you did it blind folded, too.

The folks with extensive Luger knowledge on this forum never ceases to amaze me.

Thank you Vlim for this answer but could you explain me what's the sear safety? I don't understand why the opening in the cover plate. Some people said me that this modification has been made by a stupid do-it-yourself man. But it sounds to me that it is stupid because I'm quite sure the plate has been made so, it is not a modification made after the gun left the Armory.

ADDED FOR HIM

This gun is supposed to be an early made DWM gun, so early that there is no manufacturing year.
All markings are on the left side. On the handle, the ring around the trigger is ''Alter Art" this means old style.
Cover plate is opened.
No nut to transform it into a carbine and the handle has been modified to add the slide safety keeping the slide open when after the last shot.
Hoping this will help you.
