Navy Luger on GB
Dear Experts
This pistol is on GB: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=133893013 Does this look to you like a 1917 Navy barrel, frame and extension with Erfurt toggles and breech block substituted? Thanks, Jeff |

I was going to ask that since it had no Navy rear sight, what made you say it is a Navy...but then I saw the crown over M...
So someone replaced the Navy toggle??? |

It would be interesting to know if the the toggle replacement was the result of the 1920 acceptance into the Reichswehr inventory. But also impossible to know!
Are there other cases of the Reichswehr accepting 6" pistols, or of the Weimar navy accepting this pistol without putting Weimar naval proofs on it? Jeff |
