Hi Tyler, Welcome to the forum! You have a very collectible 1914 model, 1916 dated Navy Luger. In addition to the marks you mention, the barrel and left side of the breech block should also be stamped with Navy crowns, and the front sight base should be stamped 1916. I maintain a data base of all known Navy Lugers and would like to add yours to the list. You can post the serial number here or send me an email if you prefer. Regards, Norm

Here's the Pic
Norm...
You are correct, the front sight also shows "1916" and the rear sight is adjustable from 100 to 200 (meters, I presume; but it seems strange to shoot a target at that distance with a 9mm handgun!). There are no markings on the magazine, and the serial numbers appear to match. The wood grip has an "S" and an "O" stamped into the checkering on the left side. I am unable to figure out how to upload a pic, but will try "attachment." |

Hi Tyler, Yep, it's a 1916 Navy all right. However, it appears from you photo that the stock lug has been removed, I hope I'm wrong and that it's just the camera angle. Please let me know the serial number and your email address, I'll send you a link to the Navy List.
Regards, Norm |
