From Still, Imperial Lugers, pp 92-93:

-Estimated- production, LP-08, DWM
1914 = 5,000
1915 = 15,000
1916 = 20,000
1917 = 90,000
1918 = 25,000

Erfurt produced LP-08 in only one year, 1914, estimated production 23,000 (there exits one Erfurt LP-08 chamber dated 1915, whose authenticity is suspect).

Total Imperial LP-08 production is estimated to be 155,000.
