Need help on a P-08 decision

Thank you all for the input, I don’t think I can go wrong with any of them, I was mainly between #1 and #3. The condition when I see them may be a deciding factor also. I was concerned that the 1920 pistol would have a higher chance of being re arsenaled, but with all matching numbers that’s unlikely. I don’t think he would have collected anything that wasn’t in original finish also.

I have an extra all correct Springfield M1 Garand and Winchester M1 carbine I could easily sell locally within my group to cover the cost of buying both. I’m not going to loose money on them.
I will post pictures after I see him tomorrow, he usually would send photos, but I’ll see them in person.
I may be looking for regiment ID help if I go with #3, that would be interesting to know more history on it. Thanks again you all are great.
