Fare enough Folks,

I too concur than Naval service should be the final arbiter of what is 'Navy'. That must weigh in favor of the weapon's collectable value. I'm learning.

That said, I see that Simpson's has had seven Navy Lugers displayed for some weeks. All appear to have Navy sights and 6-inch barrels, be 9mm DWM production between 1906 and 1917, and are offered in the price-range between just under $3K to well over #6K. Ignoring my use of the word â??authenticâ??, are these P04 Lugers?
Depending on the answer, I am between one and ten years from ever affording one.

But I do see how this all works. I have been a compulsive collector all my life. It drives my wife up the wall. Hughâ??s tagline really hits home, â??There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".â??

Thank you all for furthering my obsession--uuuuh--education.
