LUGERHOLSTERREPAIR, you have the 1906 and the 1908 mixed up.

The 1906 1st issue navy unaltered has the saftey reversed.

The 1906 1st issue altered had the saftey corrected by having the 'GESICHERT' ground off both at the arsenals and at the factory, depending on delivery posessions, and then correctly stamped in. Of course the mechanical internals were also changed.

And Finally there was the 1906 navy second issue in which everything was corrected at the factory and there was no grounding to be done.

See Jan Stills book 'Imperial Lugers' pg 162

Also, the 1908 military issue have would have the new short frame and the 1906 would have the old long frame.

The 1908 commercial navy Luger may have either the long or the short frames. No chamber date on either the military or the commercial navy.
