Here's a Quick & Dirty thread on posting the pics directly to LugerForums. It is quite easy and fairly quick.

If Ed Tinker were here, he would tell you that your pics are a valuable resource that LugerForums would want to preserve. Navy Lugers are among the rarer variations of Lugers, and good pics (like yours) are invaluable in identifying and describing the marks and identifying features of these pistols.

Very nice looking Navy Luger...

Knight Diver -

If you have any additional pics, please add them to the thread. And we would all like to hear the story...

The holster is interesting also. I don't think it is original, but it has very pleasing lines...

Because of attachment size limitations, I have scaled the resolution down a bit to post these directly to the forum. Hope that is acceptable. I want to preserve these photos where it makes sense. Thanks for being patient with me.

These are the last of the photos I have on this gun...for now.

I work with a fellow whose mother's father was given this gun by his neighbor. The mother remembers only that the neighbor had a heavy accent. She thinks it may have been a German accent. But this was some time ago and she was a young girl. When I told my friend that the gun was a "Navy" version, he said his mother said that makes sense. Otto (the neighbor's name) was in the Navy. Sadly Otto has passed, so all we have are the memories, now faded, of my friend's mother of when the gun was given to her father.

My feeling is that Otto was in the German navy and it was his issued gun. I like the story of this gun.

Thanks for posting the pics to the Forum! I'm sure Ed would be pleased!

You can post up to 1100 x1100 pixel .JPG's, IIRC...

I like that holster. Does anyone know who made it, or whether it was an 'issue' holster by some agency???
