For The Luger Collector....

Very nice! Do you know the date of publication?

[Johnny Peppers]

They are referring to it as the P.08, but the 9mm still doesn't have a stock lug, so maybe between 1908 and 1914.

Good eyes Johnny!! I missed that.
Well, I miss a lot of stuff.
Check out my signature...

I believe that the manual shown dates from the 1930s. The printer used stock art work. Note that the first pistol illustrated is a model 1900.

[Johnny Peppers]

Having the Model 1900 on the cover is what led me to believe it is fairly early. What indicates printing in the 1930's when DWM would no longer be making pistols?

M1900 toggles, new style extractor and no grip safety.

Perhaps I should have written that it might be dated between the two wars. It is a private publication and judging by the quantity discount price offered the pamphlet was probably intended for sale to retailers. The text also notes that it has a hold-open device which would indicate a date after 1913.
