Hi Marshall, Welcome to the forum! You have a very collectible 1906 1st Issue Navy Luger with altered safety. The take down lever is not original, it comes from an Erfurt Luger, as is the side plate, which comes from a DWM Army Luger. The gun has clearly been refinished at some point, but despite these issues it's still a desirable gun. Imperial Navy Lugers led a hard life and they are scarce. Please check the front of the frame, just below the serial number, there is likely a suffix letter a, which is part of the serial number. Regards, Norm
