1939 P.08 of unknown heritage maybe Luger?

The interior marks that you've photographed are factory inspection marks that were applied as the pistol was made (or possibly as it was refurbished). They represent intermediate inspection steps as the parts are manufactured and fitted.

The barrel may have been replaced during the refurbishment by the Austrians. The type font of the serial number dies doesn't look like factory Mauser dies.

The Haneal Schmeisser milled magazine is one of the best made for the gun, and should serve you well shooting it.

Do the new photographs represent the pistol that you have purchased? What was the price?
