I never questioned the luger being a genuine "06 Navy" it is exactly what it appears to be, however I believe this gun is an older restoration that has aged very well and developed authentic looking patina, something we are going to need to deal with more and more often as time goes on.

The facts remain that this gun has been cleaned internally of all rust and in fact appears bright and shinny without even a hint of oxidation on internal surfaces. When we add the lack of high edge ware and no sign of holster or stock ware you must ask the question how can this be.

This gun was issued, so we have an issued gun that was never used, never carried and fired very little--Am I paranoid, yes I am and for good reason.

I stand by my review of this gun
