1908 reblued navy commercial
 

Just wanted to send a pic of the crown M's on this one.
It has been rebarreled and buffed and reblued, but darn it, I think those old naval marks are correct!
Has been in a private collection for decades.

Serial # 2418 b.

Hi Anna, Thanks for posting pics of your 1908 Navy. I've added it to the Navy List. Regards, Norm

Thanks Norme.
It is correct although mutilated, no?
The rest of the #s, minus mag and of course the unnumbered barrel, match on this one.
And sorry about hosting off site, I tried 5 times to upload here and got timed out every time.

Hi Anna, Apart from the replaced barrel and the refinish, your gun looks legit to me. Regard, Norm

I'm only seeing one photo and can not see the buff/reblue...

The edges and the "island" on the sideplate show rounding and deformity in person.
Also there is blue in some pits and scratches, but I sure wish I was wrong about this one!

Hi Anna, The chamber area on your gun sure looks like it has been reblued. If you look at the receiver rails you'll know for sure - they should be "in the white". Regards, Norm

Anna,

How do you arrive at this being a commercial?

My mistake, I sure should know better, what with the Crown M's and the letter suffix on the serial.
I posted quickly, as it was in the spot with the Less Fortunate Lugers, totally stumbled across it while digging for a shooter.
Was going by the old list that came with the guns, fraught with errors.
It was late, I was tired, had a stroke in April...the excuses can go on forever if I let them.
My boo-boo, sorry.

Navy Barrels
 

Hi,
I have what I think is Navy 6in barrel. It is unmarked. However there is a small flat area on the flange in line with the front sight. Is it possible for one of you to post a pic of the top of the pistol.

Is this flat normal feature? This is not a turned down artillery barrel.
