Laura, This LP08 is without a doubt a military. It was born with a date and has been ground off. You will notice the different coloration and finish where the date was and should be.
The military proofs all over the pistol attest to this.
Dwight is correct, if it was exported to an English speaking country in the 20's after the war it would have Germany stamped on it.
Could have been bought in Germany and brought back rather than imported per se. Jerry Burney
