Had a chance to see a collector's 1906 Navy Commercial luger today :
1. Had the "Geischert" in the lower position.
2. Had an absolute mint Navy wooden magazine with the concentric circles and "9m/m Cal" stamped on the magazine bottom and pristine wooden grips
3. Had the lazy Crown/N proof along the left side of the receiver.
4. Had a 6" barrel (non fat barrel type), 9mm, with stock lug and grip safety.
5. Serial number was 61x17 and small parts were numbered in the commercial style.
6. Gun looked little-fired and was a strong (original, I think...) 98-99% finish and most surfaces were extremely well machined and finished. There was a very slight finish-blemish at the left side of the blank chamber and a little ding along the left side of the barrel near the front sight base...
How exciting to see and hold such a beautiful Navy !!! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> This collector has had this gun for over 30 years and found it for the obscene price of over $ 800.00... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
