Made in Germany during the Weimar Republic era, this P.08 has the hallmark 1920 property stamp on the chamber and a clearly marked "Germany" export legend on the left side. These export and property markings, together with crowned commercial proofs, provide straightforward historical context and traceable commercial status.
The toggle is marked with the DWM monogram, and the rear sight is the correct fixed V-notch integral to the toggle assembly, paired with a fixed blade front sight. The small parts exhibit matching 49 assembly numbers, an important detail for those assessing originality and uniformity of components.
Its 4-inch carbon-steel barrel and full-size configuration align with the classic P.08 pattern. The pistol uses the short-recoil, toggle-locked, single-action striker-fired system with a manual safety lever, and has an 8+1 capacity in 9mm Luger.

The package includes two 8-round steel magazines—one with a wooden baseplate bearing hand-scratched initials—and multiple grip options, adding flexibility for display or range setup while preserving the original panels.
