Maybe Time For A Poll...

[John Sabato]

I believe that this forum's discussion of the Navy Toggle/Sight that is being reproduced in Germany is exactly that... Exposure of the existance of reproduction parts... and comparisons of those repro parts with known genuine examples...

There are clear indications that these toggles are being reproduced with modern equipment, but that they do not exactly reproduce the original parts... at least that is my impression so far.

In this respect, the forum has provided a service to the collecting community...

The Lugerforum does not accept any type of commercial advertising... parts and accessories get bought, traded and sold here simply as a service... buyers must perform their own due diligence in anything that they buy...

Announcing the existence of these new parts is not much different that announcing the existence of a new Luger book...

An example of my point: Tom Heller (Lugerdoc)is one of the vendors of both NEW (and used) luger parts that are made in Germany... and his parts make it possible for Lugers that get used to live longer lives...
The "misuse" of reproduction parts to misrepresent a collectible Luger no more makes Tom or vendors like him responsible for the misrepresentation that the gun companies are liable for the misuse and illegal use of their firearms...

Consequently, the Lugerforum is not liable for ANYTHING purchased through the classified services that it offers any more than a newspaper is for things sold via their classified ads...

Lots of our members, including myself would love to have a Navy Luger shooter "look-a-like" and these sights can make that possible...

I'll bet that if the maker of these toggles would produce them in stainless steel, that the owner's of Mitchell, Stoeger, AIMCO and the newest name for the SS Lugers would scramble to have their guns fitted for this new accessory along with a 6 inch barrel...

Caveat Emptor... the collector's best advice...know what you are buying or don't risk your money...
