serial 14xxx and says DE

Try posting this question over at the Park Cities Tactical site, specifically "The Cult of the P7" sub-section. I have a few P7s but am not well-versed enough in them to help you with the date. The guys over at "The Cult..." know their stuff. Great guns, btw, enjoy yours! Best,

There is a 2 letter sequence on the pistol that is the date code that is on the frame by the proof mark which is the eagle over N if I remember correctly being the location
A B C D E F G H I K

If your pistol does not have an actual date or date code, (some don't), then the serial number indicates a very early production, probably 1980 or 1981.
The DE is just a required stamp indicating the gun shipped from Germany. All guns now made there have the DE stamp.
