Hi Ed, Thank you for the serial number. Your brother's gun is what collectors call a 1906 1st Issue Altered Navy Luger. These were made between 1906 and about 1912 and #5216a is one of the later ones. Genuine Navy holsters are even rarer than the guns, and we would love to see photos of your brother's. Regards, Norm
