1916-1917 Navy Receiver Proofs

Pete Ebbink · 07-16-2002, 05:37 PM

Hello again, Johnny,

I hope you did not take offense to this luger beginner asking you, twice, about the 1917 Navy luger that you posted.

I was not implying that your gun was not right. If that is how my post came across, I sincerely apologize to you !!!

I was trying to understand if the issue of the Navy stamps on the left side (halo effect or not) would be a 100% "black & white" issue with these DWM models.

It appears that some 1917 Navies may have left DWM with some variations in the manfuacturing process and steps. So here is a real Navy luger with the documented halo effect.

My wife always tries to remind me to be flexible and open to new ideas. She has convinced me, over 23 years, to not be so "black & white" and to accept those gray areas of life as we experience them.

Thank you for taking your time to explain the attributes of your gun to this luger novice...

Regards,

Pete
