Hello George,

It would be great if you could get as many details as possible; so folks everywhere can look out for these modern-day Navy toggles...and not get fooled.

Setting the issue of faked/forged/boosted Navies aside for a minute, there might be a "secondary" market for these $ 400.00 items.

Some of us folks might never have a chance and/or the money to get a real Navy. And if we did, would we want to shoot her...?

But there may be a market to take a shooter luger with a replacement 6" 9mm bbl (say, for around $ 600-700), then buy on of these "new" Navy toggles and end up being able to shoot a pseudo "Navy" for around $ 1000.00 or so...

I suspect this might be another reason someone is bringing these Navy toggles to the marketplace...

Personally, I have a nice 1920 Commerical shooter that I now have around $ 900 tied up (price of gun originally plus a grip upgrade and a $ 20.00 receiver-fork alignment job...)...I would love the chance to throw another $ 400.00 at her and end up with a fun "Navy" shooter. The last built-up Navy a Forum member had for sale was advertised at $ 2500.00...so maybe these $ 400.00 puppies will find a market amongst shooters...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
