News flash! Imperial Navy Luger's are FAR from a dime a dozen..more like 5-8 grand a pop. Shooting ANY all matching Luger is a brainless thing to do. Much less a Navy. I would LOVE to collect all the stories..like LON above where people went out to shoot a Luger and lost thousands of dollars putting a few rounds down range.
Granted you MIGHT get away with it..but an all matching Navy is a thing to treasure..not shoot.
I have a mismatched Navy I shoot. I think I have a couple of grand in it but a broken part could be replaced. Even that would be bad but not like the end of the World. I think the last part I broke in that pistol was the flange on my toggle pin sheared off. These Navy large flange pins are so scarce I had to have one made. Not even a numbered part but it cost me 2-300 dollars to get one.
There are shooter pistols and collector pistols..anyone with a brain in their head and a sense of history wouldn't ever consider mixing up the two types.
