Hello all,
Am pleased to report that I have secured closure on one of the few known and recognized as genuine '04 Navy pistols.
I have been on thquest for 10+ years and have had to face many distractions, such as career changes, kids college, weddings, births, and deaths. But I stayed the course. I sold almost all of my non-Imperial Navy collection (Thanks guys, you know who you are!) at a small loss to free up the cash-its tough to do high end guns when the stockmarket sucks, and this has not been a deal for the financially faint hearted.
But in the final analysis, I prevailed.
This has occupied most of my waking moments for the past several days, so I apologize if I have not closed the loop with anyone in correspondence.
Bottom line: I now own one each of every known version of Navy Luger. Photos to follow as time permits a suitable shoot.
Some days its really great to be alive!
