It's a nice LP08, with the Reichswehr property stamp ("1920").
Longer barrels are not often seen when we talk about Weimar period Lugers because of the restrictions of the period regarding military guns. Most of the Artillery Lugers that remained in active duty had their barrels replaced or shortened to 4 in.

Congratulations!

It's a nice looking LP08 but the rear sight is a bit curious. The ramp on the sight with the spanner screw is of the earlier type (1914-1917+). The base of the rear sight with the fixing screw, forward right, is from the later model (1917-18). It may be a mixed parts sight. Check for a serial number on the right side of the sight slider it should match the last two digits of the serial number.

The most beautiful pistol if you ask me........ still looking for one...

[Johnny Peppers]

Just my opinion, but I believe the sight is original to the pistol. This was after the fine tune adjustments were dropped, and the binding screw added to the right front of the sight, but the sight was probably something left over and put on the 1918 dated pistol. The binding screw was added to meet current requirements.
