I notice that Bob Simpson has a good supply of quality Navy Lugers now. I wonder if he bought someone's Navy collection.

That is indeed a nice one. I ran across a 1906 with matching stock, holster and mags (magazine pouch has 2 more) fine condition. Of course its a wee bit higher than the one Simpson has, about double-12K for a complete rig. Seem a little strong but there is little to compare it with.

Well, we know who owns this one now! And it could not have found a better home. See the following thread on this forum

I noticed that Joe Salter has a 1904 #6706 with WW unit markings for sale on his site.

Joe has a nice rig, but the import marks on the barrel just detract from it, my opinion.

I am still crying in my beer that FGS had a 1906 navy with "WD" markings on the strap. I would have gone nice with that navy stock that I bought a while back that also had "WD" markings on the washer. But it was sold before Ken could answer any of my questions.

Leo,
No, I don't think so. I have quite a few artilleries as well as navies, but this is the only navy stock that I have. Its a good one too. Numbered WD231 with a serial number of 6483. Not many Werft Danzig articles around and that was why I was interested in the above mentioned Navy Luger. I have to have a long talk with Ken and Doug of FGS. They have sold many guns that I was interested in just as I was going to buy. Its beginning to look like I am a magnet for buyers who buy Lugers off of them. I should get a cut of the profits.

Hi Norm.........If you ever decide to sell the stock I would be very interested.
At least I know where it is. As for Navy Lugers this is number 21 for me. I have sold off all of my other pieces and have concentrated on the elusive Navy Luger |

Luger11,
excluding THE 1904, which I will never buy because of the numerous fakes, I am only missing the 1906 second issue for my set of navies. I have 12 navies. Of my first line collection, only my 1916 is missing the matching or correct magazine. This 1916 is so beautiful that I don't care that it does not have the matching mag. But if you come across navy mag #4602, let me know. Big Norm |
