Another "expensive" fake Navy

[drbuster]

Postino, commercial Navy lugers do not have the crown/M proof as they are not military guns. Prior to 1912 they had the commercial "BUG" proofs and later the corwn/N proofs. This fake on GB has the C/N proof on its side on the right side of the receiver. This was an obvious goof on the part of the faker as he should have realized that the C/N proof should NEVER appear on a military luger unless it is a 1920 era Weimar rework (another subject). Pete Ebbink in his earlier post said that this fake was probably made early in the faker's career as these goofs become less and less obvious later on. The Navy rear sight is very important. I have tried to post pictures of real Navy profile sights. Note the second picture shows the wide rear toggle pin.
