Hi Dave, 1906 and 1908 Navies were undated. Only the 1914 Navies (dated 1916 and 1917) had dates on their chambers. They were also dated on their left frame rails and front sight blocks. All Imperial Navies had serial numbered and Navy proofed barrels, but none carried the bore measurement. Navy Lugers are a different animal and you should do your homework before you even think of spending $6,000.00. Good luck! Norm

Thanks, Norm. I had no intention of spending that money on this gun. I was sure it was a fake, but I wanted to get some details here.

Hey, I have been there, see what I think is a great deal, but not sure, I go back home, come to the forums, look in my books and then I am even more puzzled!

Best of luck and hope you get lucky!!
