I keep a picture of Ron Woods description of repro navy rear toggles on my desk. A comparision of that picture to the picture supplied in a previous forum discussion(see below) makes the toggle KNOBS look repro to me .

Perhaps someone more adept with computers then me could pull up the picture supplied in that thread of the repro and then pull up the picture supplied on Ebay and compare the KNOBS. They looked the same to me. The surface of the KNOBS look very flat and the edges look sharper than the edges of the knobs on the original navy rear toggle.

Going strictly on my memory, the serrations seemed to be longer on the Ebay pictures than on either of the pictures (original or repro) in the forums thread. But I am not able to pull up the Ebay auction, for some reason, so I am not able to double check myself. So I am basing my opinion on this thread only on the KNOBS.

I usually look at the KNOBS on the navy Lugers because, at a gun show, it is difficult to actually see the differences in the serrations and their heights along with the rounded contour. Sometimes a seller doesn't have another navy to compare with. But the flatness of the surface of the KNOBS seems to be an easy givaway.

vtwoodchuck,
I sent you an email via Ebay and you have not responded to it as of this date. But I guess that this discussion will do the job.
