Here is 1908 Navy I got last weekend. What do you guys think about this gun?

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

I saw your photos over on Gunboards. Looks like a really nice '08. Tough gun to find in that condition.

Clifton,
I don't see any military proof marks on it. Must be a commercial navy Luger. Is the serial number in the 51000 area? I always wondered about short and long frames on the commercial 1908's. Lets see some more pictures of your prize?

Big Norm,

How are the pics of my prize? I did some research on 51000 ser number area and it looks like that ser number area belongs to guns manufactured at Farmington Hills, Michigan...
