Another "expensive" fake Navy

Why, yes, I did read it. It doesn't say how to identify a fake from four pictures.

How do you identify a fake from these four pics??? Really, I'd like to know what jumps out at you from these pics that yells "fake"...

Inquiring minds want to know...

Edit: Wups! Sorry...*four* pics...

To the best of my knowledge, I've never seen a Navy Luger in person. Tom's thread describes how to test a navy but it assumes the reader has the weapon in hand, and knows what it should look like (or its features). It then describes the differences.

I don't know what it should look like. Or what it shouldn't look like. But I'd like to.

Do you have a Navy that you could post a pic of, showing what tipped you off that this one was fake???

It's not inconceivable that I may want to purchase one, in the future...
