some more pictures.

Question is: is it normal that the proof mark on breech block is absent on a 1906 navy?

Best regards and that you all in advance

Hi Eymen, No, it's not normal. The Navy crown firing proof was stamped at three locations, the left sides of the barrel, receiver and breechblock, when the gun passed proof testing. If it's not on the breech block then it was either removed or the breech block is not original to the gun.
Regards, Norm
