    DWM P08 Regimental Markings

    Hey everyone, I just acquired a 1909 DWM P08 with some interesting regimental markings. I haven't seen others in quite the same layout. I'm having a problem trying to decipher exactly where this pistol was assigned. If anyone has any information or a good reference source, I'd greatly appreciate the help. Thanks!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    With the added advantage of specialist knowledge originating in the country of origin. I´ve always found that so much can go wrong in transit.
