Navy Commercial Help

[drbuster]

Observations: (1) apparently a short framed Navy which would make it a 1914 type originally, (2) no serial number under the barrel...replacement? (3) interesting C/S proofs on the right side of the frame seen on 1914 and early 1915 LP.08's, (4)lazy C/N proofs possibly indicating pre Weimar assembly. Questions: (1) is there a witness mark on the barrel at its attachment to the receiver? (2) any serial numbers on the stock iron?(3) any unit marks on the front or rear grip strap? (4) small or large rear toggle pin? (5) do you have a good view of the front/back of the holster? (6) frame well marking? Do you see an "N" or circled "N"? Need to know answers to these questions to better judge originality and value. It may have started out as a 1915 Navy, commercialized after WW1. Is it 9mm or 30 caliber?

Questions: (1) is there a witness mark on the barrel at its attachment to the receiver?

Nothing that I can see. I'll add a pic.

(2) any serial numbers on the stock iron?

No, none that I see.

(3) any unit marks on the front or rear grip strap?

No, none at all.

(3) small or large rear toggle pin?

Can't say as I have no field stripped it as yet.


(4) do you have a good view of the front/back of the holster?

Yes, what should I look for?

(5) frame well marking? Do you see an "N" or circled "N"?

Where should I look? There is a Crown N on the right side of the frame.

Need to know answers to these questions to better judge originality and value. It may have started out as a 1915 Navy, commercialized after WW1. Is it 9mm or 30 caliber?

9MM form sure.
