Portuguese Navy Lugers

[LugerVern]

Just so everyone knows what I am talking about; I have included a small scan of the chamber marking from Lugers at Random. It is hard to get clarity from a small picture in a book but you can see the extension on the left side.

Now I would like to invite everyone to use a jewelers loop of at least 10 power and examine the Type One picture in the original post, you can do it directly on your computer screenâ??what you will see is a very detailed chain attached to the left side of the cross bar.
I called it a rope before but was mistaken, I apologize for the misleading information..
I can see 3 links plus the attachment to the cross bar very clearly using this method.

I have no preconceived thoughts as to what is right or wrong with the two different chamber markingsâ??they might both be correct for all I knowâ??that is my question to the members of this forum? .

I am gathering information only in this post, it should not be used to analyze specific gunsâ??that will come later in a separate post.


Albert & Pete have been great in helping me get it straight as to what I should be looking for, thank you Albert & Pete!


Thanks to Everyone!
