Nice Navy Holster with Stock & Strap

Ed Hicks,
very nice assembly. Your navy is a 1st issue altered 1906 navy. Are you sure that this is a commercial navy? From the glare on the pictures, I can't see any proof markings on the gun. I didn't know that the commercial navies were ever altered. I don't think that the stocks on a commercial navies would have a navy dockyard stamp on the washer on the side. Does the serial number on the attaching iron match the serial number on the gun? Does your magazine have a matching serial number on it? I don't think that the commercial navies put serial numbers on the magazines. Your pictures are loading slow on my computer, so I will take a closer look after I post this message.

Aside from my comments, the individual pieces look pretty nice. Original navy stocks are a hard find and so are good navy 1906's.
