Questions about a DWM P08

Thanks Guys,

Unfortunately the date over the chamber has been buffed out at some point in it's life and the serial number on the front of the frame has no letter or other marking on it apart from 1320.

all of the small parts have 20 on them apart from the barrel which is a 6" one to comply with Australian firearms laws & regulations. I will not be able to get any pictures of it until I get my permit through which will be in about 6 weeks and pick it up.

As I said this belonged to a good Friend before he passed & is a shooter as I know it has lost it's collectors value when someone refinished & re-barreled it but was hoping someone may be able to give me some info on it before it was transformed.

The marking I was talking about are no 15 on the attached link being "German military receiver proof. Found on DWM Lugers 1914-1918"
