I have in my posession a Luger P08.
The markings are the standard DWM marking on the toggle slide but the serial number does not match with the date on the weapon. All other markings seem to be standard as quoted in all the booKs I have researched on this weapon. The only other info I have is that it was taken as war trophy during the second world war, apparently in the concentration camps
Serial no: 287
Date: 1916
Military markings: 96R.9.23 (on the grip)
All the parts are numbered with the the last two digits of the serial number 87 except the magazine which has 28817 in the base plate of the mag. The base plate of the mag is original wood. All the parts have been checked and the 87 appears on all of them.
Where can spares be obtained for this firearm?
