Hi Tom,

Just got back from the G-M preview.

Lot # 858 M1914 Navy luger (dated 1916) is one of those bogus "Navy" lugers that seem to have come out in the 100's from our country's Heartland.

Small toggle pin flange, refinish, bluing a bit too blackish, no patina, no halos on barrel or frame stamping. Serial number 4029. Magazine stamps of the matched serial number looked too newly stamped in the wood, font of numbers was wrong, and the C/M stamping was too small in size. C/M stampings on the left side frame were "floating M's" as well.

The cased 1970's Mauser Navy looked nice but the barrel was a bit worn and not cleaned well. Not much wear on the gun's exterior.
