Matthias, Leo,

It seems we are building up a S.B. club here.
Well, yes, they are very, very rare. If you add all three S.B.'s together, only 10 were reported in the books untill now. Makes one feel proud...

Leo, congratulations with your I.S.B. - it looks certainly in good shape - better then mine, which was somewhere in the past polished and reblued... Looking fine and OK, but more like a 90 years old lady after a face lift.

Matthias, I am not very shure, but I think that you can find copies of at last two of his books directly from Jan Still's site - look there under the book forum. As to your question about the series of the 1906 Navy variation, I quote Still again; page 159:
Produced were 21.000, serial range 69-9912, 7a - 9945a, 2b - 998b, of which 460 were reported in 1988. (attention, all these had a grip safety).

Good luck to the three of us, the S.B. - club!<hr /></blockquote>A good advice: I will ask him this evening, if he has any books left..
You are right, its my first navy, altough its deactivated due to German weapon law (but I wouldn't dare to shoot it at all, due to its condition) its a jewel in my collection, I simply love it.
My princess was found near the belgium frontier in the early 60s with the soldier, a SS-man, lying near it. So was it told from the guy I bought it from. I have no reason to disbelieve him, because he never tricked me and the story wasn't an argument to get a higher price.
