Navy "Floating" Crowns...?

Hello Pete,

I had the opportunity to examine and photography an absolutely genuine 1904 Navy Serial #36 with the early 3-lobe C/M proofs marks, the 90-degree toggle checkering and the two piece toggle lock. This pistol is shown on my website at the following link:

1904 Navy Luger Serial #36

If my database is up to date, this is the lowest serial number so far reported. There has been some controversy at which point the serial range ends for the first true 1904 Navy Lugers. Some collectors say around #100, others say around #150-#200, but the best way to find out is to go out and inspect each one which has survived!

Cheers,
Albert
