Dave please remember that a "Navy" barrel has a higher front sight base to match the higher rear Navy sight.

Just any 6" barrel won't work to make a Navy style Luger with a real or repro Navy rear sight. The sights would be at the wrong angle and the gun would print WAY high on the target. If you are having a custom barrel produced, you will need a front sight base that is roughly 1/16" higher... and adjust from there during the build/test firing to get it right.

Dave, IMO, what would go great with that profile barrel is one of the Finnish 'square' front sight blades...
