The seller states:
"The finish shows honest wear and would be rated excellent for an Imperial Navy."

This in my opinion implies the pistol's finish is original; though, you are correct that he does not explicitly say that.

Additionally, the seller states: "This is a collector grade gun."
To my mind, as a serious collector, I would not be interested in a gun which I believed to have been "enhanced".
A collector grade gun implies, to me, originality.

And the seller further states: "The magazine is matching with the Marinen Crown Proof & the matching serial number."
One collector here, with the experience and knowledge to judge these things, has expressed serious reservations about the originality of the mag.
Admittedly, the seller does not say the mag is original but I think to a reasonable mind this is implied.


I have absolutely no interest in purchasing this Navy or in contacting the dealer. I also have no ax to grind either.

My purpose in posting this Navy at all is stated clearly in my first post:
"Not being very knowledgeable about navies, I am anxious to see what other think of this."

I further elaborate upon it in a later post:
"I posted this thread to solicit opinions, critiques, and other insights from the community."

Many people read posts very quickly and often, as a result, read into a post.
