P.04 Model 1906 Conversion
Merry Christmas Luger Forum Members! I would like to share with you one of my favorite Navy Lugers....
DWM P.04 Model 1906 1st Issue Altered & subsequent Weimar and Early Nazi conversions, S/N 7390a. This particular piece has a unique history. The pistol and accompanying converted Type 1 Navy holster have gone through several changes through the course of history. First conversion was during the Weimar period, the barrel cut and re-crowned, maintaining the navy toggle and removal of the grip safety. A 1916 variation P.04 front sight was attached to the re-cut barrel and a re-numbered side plate, perhaps from another conversion performed on the same table. The â??N/1819â? (Marinestation der Nordsee) was engraved on the rear grip strap when pressed into service in the 1930â??s by the Kriegsmarine. The converted holster has the manufacturerâ??s stamp with a â??C/Mâ? on the inside of the flap. There are â??anchor/Mâ? stamped twice on the outside. The edition of a cleaning rod attachment over the loading tool pouch would suggest a conversion around the early 1930â??s. An example of the same type of Navy Luger conversion can be found in Stillâ??s â??Weimar and Early Nazi Lugers and Accessoriesâ?, 1993, on page 95, figure 26a. |

So why, isn't this Navy just a shooter with all the added and changed componets ie side plate,cut barrel,reblued,mismatched components. My Navy has a renumbered side plate from the same time frame (Weimar) and it is something the Germans would never do.This has had everything done to it ,yet it is a historical correct pistol.Does someone want to explain this.
