Here are some pictures of an early regimental marked Imperial P08. The hold open has been added and the front sight blade modification has been made. Proper markings appear at both locations.

The magazine is a beech wood bottom one.The beech wood bottoms began to be issued in late 1916.
A proper mag should have a walnut wood bottom.

Thank you. That is very interesting. Do you have additional information regarding the size and manner of stamping of the numbers?

The size of the numbers on the specimen I know range between 3,6 mm. and 3,9 mm..About the manner they are placed,see page 88 (on the left upon and below) of the BEAUTIFUL "Imperial Lugers" of Jan Still.
