1917 Navy

vesuvio · 01-17-2015, 10:34 AM

Any red flags on this piece?
The stock is commercial?
Thank you

Antonio, No one can give any useful information from a photo like this.

Hi Antonio, I really need more and better photos to tell you anything about your rig. Apart from close-ups of the gun I'd like to see photos of the back sides of the holster and pouch. The cleaning rod is not Navy, it looks Commercial.
I'd like to add your gun to the Navy List if it's not already listed, what is it's serial number?
Regards, Norm

Antonio, I know others are going to ask for more pics, and detailed ones...

By Red Flag, are you looking to buy it or simply re-assure yourself that your Navy is correct???

Date placement on side of frame looks correct for a 1917 as per pics in Sturgess & Gortz [w/small font]...

There is a X stamped on the inside of one of the grips.

Antonio, The double mag pouch is a genuine Imperial Navy but in very poor shape. The Imperial Navy carry strap is a real prize! These are exceedingly rare. be careful with it if it comes into your possession. It will be fragile.

Any suggestion on how to best preserve the holster and mag pouch?
About the shoulder stock; is it original?

Thank you

The toggle axle appears to be a standard size rather than the correct larger flange?

It looks like the correct 9mm size to me.

A. I have the correct large flange Navy rear toggle axels in stock. TH

The one on the gun is original, just missing that tiny piece shown in the photo.

I was viewing it from a phone. On the laptop it looks correct, albeit chipped.
