Good fellas... I was pointed to this website by another collector via Gunboards. Anyhow I am a bit amazed at some of the responses I have gotten regarding this pistol. Please view the link where I put a handfull of pics. Anything anyone could add to it would be very appreciated.

welcome to the forum. I'd rater it closer to 85%, and 1K sounds reasonable to me, and bet that the original magazine makes it a bit higher.

Blued small parts occured in 1937 and this is within the suffix range of that.

It looks to be all matching - including the mag - AND...

If it is, I would expect to pay up to $1500 for it (agreeing with Ed's rating at 85%).. On an auction site - probably a little bit more...

Guys ; thanks for the quick responses here. It's been some years since I had any military P08's. Last P08 I had was a magazine mismatch 1920's police contract " LG.L.1. " was the gripstrap marking...and I sold it for $700 about 3/4 years ago.
Every time I turn around it seems like these german arms are skyrocketing in value !.
