Default engraved 1908 navy

Does anyone know anything about this luger? Sad ending to
a rare luger, but the engraving is incrediable. I assume that
the grips are ivory. Recent listing on gunbroker.com

Photos of this wonderful looking gun were shown a few years ago but I wasn't able to record it's serial number, I see now that it's 621b. This means that it's not a 1908 Navy but a 1906 with it's grip safety removed. The seller should get some sort of award for describing ivory as "naturally aged organic material"!

Default when did 1908 navys first start

I have an early 1908 navy, #152x b I thought 1906 navys were
in no suffix and a suffix. I could not see a number on the bottom
of the sideplate. If it is a 1906, then possibly it was not matching,
so replacing the trigger bar, safety bar and safety lever would be
easy.
thanks ray

Hi Ray,
The change over from the 1906 to the 1908 Navy took place at about #1000b, there is some slight overlap.
