1914 Commercial Navy
 

Howdy Gents,

I am looking for more printed information on the 1914 Commercial Navy. I have Jan Still's Imperial Lugers and was hoping there were other resourses with more information on this piece.

Thank you.

Joe

Here's some pictures....:D

There is a book, now out of print, The Navy Luger by Joachim Goertz... you might find it at gun shows or rare book stores... The last one I saw on Ebay went for about $125.00 or more...

I sold about half a dozen new copies that I had accumulated for $75.00 each I think it was early last year. The only copy I have left isn't for sale.

Joe,

Any chance you could post photos showing the entire gun from many sides ?

Leo LaValle had one FS at SOS; it was 100% right. I wish I had gotten to it before someone else bought it.

Tom, I'm the some one else.

Pete, I'll post some more as soon as poss... Had full side shots, but they were too big. I'll change the image size and re-do.

Joe,

If you have big jpeg files, you can send them to me and I can easily resize and post them up for you...

Here is a link to an excellent posting on Navy proofs on Jan Still's Gun Board :

John S.,

I am not sure the "The Navy Luger" book covers commericals...

Tom A.,

Would one still expect a large toggle pin flange on this M1914 commerical...adapted for navy use ?

Is the crown floating a bit above the M in the one photo Joe P. posted ?

Pete, I bow to your statement ... I can't say for sure because I am separated from my library... but it is still a book I want to keep. If any of you find one, you better snatch it up.

Pete,

Standard toggle axel pin; it was a commercial pistol pulled off the line and procured by the Navy; in the US military we would refer to this as a "Limited procurement-commercial equivalent".

The proof is correct.

Pete, Here's some more pics.:)
