Tool

Larry, the tool marking is just one Navy "pothole" you can fall into. At the recent Reno show a discussion ensued about the wide flanged rear toggle pin. Most of the folks agreed that the wide flange started to appear with the 1908 Navy and extended through the 1918 Navy. Thus, the 1906 Navy luger has a narrow rear toggle flange. Some folks insisted that ALL Navy lugers were made with the narrow flange and the wide flange was added as a factory retrofit to strengthen the area. I have no idea how they came up with this idea. I feel that the narrow flange on a later than 1906 Navy makes the gun suspect.
