Another Navy opinion please

There is a 6" Navy that never sells on Gunbroker #14997115. I know that it has a replaced toggle, but most of the rest looks matching from what I see. The 1920 property mark looks quite sloppy. Why would someone want to fake that?? Except for the toggle, if it is otherwise a complete Navy, seeing that most Navy Lugers I see for sale are in the $4,000 to $6,000 price range, I was thinking on picking this up, getting a unmarked toggle and repo Navy sights, some restoration work and end up with an original Navy (less replacement parts and refinish) for around $2,000. It might not be a collector's Luger, but would be a 'mostly' original Navy for my collection. Any thoughts on this ? or maybe other faults noticed that should change my mind on this?
Thanks,Bill
