A generous offer, which I will thankfully take you up on. I have a chamber date 1917 Navy, s# 8958 (no suffix). It appears to be authentic, it has been pretty harshly treated, but it is mine and I love it. I'll be glad to know any information you might have on this gun, thanks.

1917 Navy

@silvereagle29: you have got mail!

This Navy Guy, and your humble moderator, has been busily acquiring more Navy pieces..including a matching K-Date rig...all serials match, including the holster. Not an easy catch, but certainly a wonderful addition to the trove. Its about 94% overall, covered with scriptic s marks all over , including the mag, which matches. A really nice piece. Pix later.

Tom I would love to see the pictures, if you need help, will have to be before Tuesday, because I am out of the loop the next two weeks.

I'm expecting a navy in the mail early this week. It is a 1917 in excellent condition and a matching mag. I got it out of Gun List magazine and paid in the upper range of my acceptable price. I am sitting on pins and needles waiting to see if it is what the guy says it is. I already have a beautiful 1917 with a matching mag so this might be trade bait for a 1908 in comparable condition and matching mag. Too bad I don't have a digital camera...yet.

Wait a minute Ed! Who the heck authorized your absence??? Request Denied!

Can you hear me now?

Have a good time where ever you are going Ed. I will try and keep this rowdy group moving while you are gone.

John,
I guess that means I send the pix to you after I have them done?

Tom A.

John Sabato · 03-17-2003, 09:09 AM

Yeah, send them to me Tom... I will get Mr. Tinker's Article 15 paperwork for AWOL ready while I am waiting for the photos. He said he would be overseas a couple of weeks... keep him and his wife in your prayers for safe travel guys.

John D. · 03-17-2003, 10:34 PM

Tom,

I'll offer my assistance on this as well... Please feel free to send the Lugers - I'll take pics and post them up for you (HEY - IT'S WORTH A TRY!!

).. Seriously - you can send any photos to me if Ed or John S. is unavailable. I'll post them up (the servers are about 10' from where I'm typing this note - so the time delay should be pretty short..)...

Best to you - and Ed?? Have a safe, successful trip..!!

Edward Tinker · 03-17-2003, 10:58 PM

Send the article 15 to RK, he'll hold onto it for me!

And I'll be looking, will at least call Gerben
