Naval Property Markings
 

I may be extremely fortunate...I have owned a lovely 4" Commercial 30 Cal Weimar Navy pistol and holster for a few years. Both the pistol, holster and magazine have the North Sea property mark, N.71 applied.(Piece is listed in one of Jan's books, IIRC)

At MAX, I came across a Weimar Naval dagger. Property mark, N.72.

Is this a nice piece of luck or what?

Who would rather be lucky than good any day.

I would say AMAZING luck Tom...

Amazing but NOT cheap.

Speaking of amazing luck, my unindicted co-conspirator has a matching SN/Property numbered pair of '06 Navies. Were not purchased as a pair; he bought one and found the other about 3 years later. Its the only matching pair of '06's I know of SN 5123/5124.

Very cool, that would be great to get a pair of anything, let alone a couple of Navys

Hello Tom,

Awhile back, I had a chance to buy a 1929 Bern swiss luger with red grips with serial # 56776. I passed because of amount of blue wear. Two months later I did buy another 1929 Bern swiss luger with red grips with serial # 56777. Needless to say, I went back and tried to buy the previous luger, but the shop had sold it already.

Imagine that : two consecutively numbered 1929 Bern lugers, both on the west coast...and within my reach !!! <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

Pete,

I have often regretted selling a piece but almost never regretted buying one...
