My mistake, 2505b, since my stroke my memory is mush! I will have it next week. I keep looking it up in Jans new book, page 137 and page 123. His naval is #6361b, Why such a wide gap? ps Thank you Tom. Im losing my virginity. one question, where there any discernable differences between the military and commercial versions?

Tom God bless a passion unrivaled, by but a few. I printed the 9 pages because of my 'brain-fart' I will read it in the morning. What amazes me is that a separate text can be written be each sub-specie. God blesss and I formally thank and praise your gifts.

How hard is it to find a proper holster, correct boardstock. I ask because I neerl choked when I saw a complete,1906 first issue, matching everthing for$18,400 Rock Island Arsenal august 2004, What if less then matching. Tom, before I go any further, I intent to thourathy read your article, Since You Are The Navy Luger Admiral

You can expect to pay between $38-4500 & up for a stock; a nice holster will run $15-2000. A correct mag pouch, if you can find one, will be $5-700; straps, if original will be $400 up. Rarer stuff, like commercial stocks, will go up proportionately.

And $18,400 for an original first issue full rig, is, in my opinion, a bargain.

I have a "spare" holster and stock, if there is such a thing as a spare. Contact me via private e-mail if you have any interest.

The seller of the naval informed me, that the naval that he purchased years ago has the stock a black holster, which Im purchasing next.First the luger. I should have it right after the first. I know from whom it once belonged, Tks Tom, Your the Naval Luger Admiral, Youll be the first to see after my self. God Bless
