In a few days I'm going to look at (buy) a few Lugers from a guy I recently met. He tells me he has a P.08 w/ 8 inch barrel and sight with a 1940 chamber date and nazi proofs on the barrel and frame. There are no other proofs on the gun. He says it is 100% matching and not reworked. I'm going into this viewing with a very skeptical attitude. Without even seeing it my guess is it's a 1940 gun re-barreled with the barrel re-numbered / re-finished to match.
Does anyone have any knowledge that might suggest this is a REAL variation, ie: 1940 LP08????
