Pete,
No offense taken. In the 15 or so years that I have owned the pistol it has been looked at by collectors more knowledgeable and who have been collecting and studying Lugers longer than I. There has never been any doubt that it is absolutely correct. This was my reason for making the pistol available to anyone that wanted to examine it, or sending scans of the pistol to anyone that would like to see any part of the pistol. No matter what should be or should not be, the markings on this Navy were stamped after the pistol was blued. Maybe it would be a learning experience for all. Very few things in collecting Lugers are absolutes.
