Navy Magazine

I had the great good fortune Thursday to buy a 99.99% 1st Issue Altered Navy. The interesting feature is that the magazine, in addition to being properly serialed to the piece on the wooden base, also has the same property number stamped on its spine.

I have never run into this before and neither had Bob Simpson or Ralph S. who both examined the piece and pronounced it legitimate.

Since the thing was a "walk in", literally brought in by a little old lady and came in a very nice 1904 holster, I have no doubts as to its being bona fide.

Has anyone on the list ever seen such a matching mag/pistol combination?
