At the risk of repeating an earlier post . . .

After buying three (3) fake 1916-17 Navy Lugers from well known dealers and returning all of them, I have given up on EVER owning a true, authentic Navy. These three fakes ranged from "pretty good" to "almost perfect" and I am not even sure the dealer knew that the best one was bogus. I was able to spot it, thanks to help by Tom Armstrong.

Sad . . . . but that's what has already happened to the this market. I can afford a Navy, but I can't afford to throw away 3 to 4 thousand dollars on a fake.

Hope Pete is right and all of these new sights wind up on Navy "shooters" but I have my doubts.
