Albert,
The Dutch 'Crown W' proof is on the Right hand side of the receiver where it is supposed to be on this model and the extractor is marked Geladen on both sides.
Apparently the first issue numbers were filed out and the new unit marks were placed on the brass plate, but in this case the earlier number have only been struck out and have not been filed out. Makes it kind of interesting.
By the way, there was a very nice Persian P08 Long complete rig with matching stock, holster and mag pouch in the same auction.
Regards
Murray.
