Norm, the keeper of the Navy list, stole a nice and extrememly rare (1 of 150) Navy contract P.08 from them last year because it was mis-identified.

They aren't the only ones. I got one of the same Navy contract P.08s from Rock Island auctions that was mis-identified as a Weimar era reworked Navy. All matching and all original. Sadly, I wasn't the only Navy collector who realized their error, so I had to pay a reasonably fair price for it. Still, if it had been correctly identified it might have gone for more.
