Hi Nick, If you know the serial number, I may be able to help you. I have a record of all known faked 1908 Navies.
There are three unique features that identify 1908 Navies:
1/ As you mentioned, long frame.
2/ Serial number in the range 1000b to aprox 9000b.
3/ Large flange rear toggle axle.
The gun you refer to may be genuine, but restored and re-stamped.
Regards, Norm
