It is too bad that the folks who manufactured these bogus parts for installation on 1920 commercial guns couldn't just stick to manufacturing the parts for a reasonable price instead of using deceptive practices to fleece unsuspecting newcomers...
I would love to have a Navy "type" rear toggle and a 6 inch barrel with the correct front sight base just so that I could create a "shooter" class Navy Luger at a price that wouldn't empty my retirement fund and I wouldn't even care if both the barrel and rear sight/toggle parts were neatly and permanently stamped "Made In The USA"
Having spent two years in manufacturing engineering, I think it is a crying shame to have spent the time and effort necessary to engineer and set up a production line to produce so few parts when they could have done the Luger shooters of world a real service and made a "reasonable" profit doing it.
I can only hope that AIMCO will take this hint and produce both a Navy and an Artillery model Luger in their product line including the original type rear sights... If they make them out of stainless steel, there is no way that their parts could turn up on a forgery of an original Navy...
Just my $0.02
