Help Identifying Naval P08

[mystical_tutor]

The only thing I would add Jon, is that when you get the urge to check numbers Be extremely careful about removing the left grip. It is very easy to chip off the wood right behind the safety lever and on this gun that would be a disaster. Best to remove only the right grip and then look through the mag well to see the number on the right grip--if there is one.

I won't say wow, but how about just standing here and drooling.

That is a true drool Luger!! Oh, to have that beauty in my safe. I am a shooter, but I would not shoot that one.

Thanks, I did field strip it and the numbers I could easily check matched.

Agreed, It is safely in the safe and will stay there. My Grand dad had one other that I will post to P08 section that I beleive will be a shooter.

To all thanks for the information and quick replies. I have been around fire arms all my life but was more interested in shooting than collecting. That might have just changed.

Amen to that my brother.

I'll throw in my two cents on this one too Jon, that Navy is a collectors dream, keep it safe and welcome to the forum.
