Typo...?

Pete Ebbink · 09-20-2004, 12:48 PM

Noticed in the Member's Gallery, on page 12, there is an album of one of Tom A's. 1906 navy lugers.

Captions reads that this is a 1906 1st. Issued Unaltered...I think this is a 1906 2nd. Issue (or using Tom's new terminology...a 1906 v 1.2). Gun serial number is # 130...

Or maybe it is a 1st. Issued - Altered (1906 v 1.1)...since the lower safety lever position is not shown...

But if the 1906 Navy lugers were numbered sequentially, how can # 130 be a later-issued piece...I am confused...

Hi Tom,

I know the "typo" was not yours...think John S. set up the photo gallery for your pistol.

I am a bit confused on the serial number of # 130...

In Still's IL book on page 159, he lists the 1906 running in batches from # 69-9912, # 7a-9945a, and # 2b-998b; with a note that 8,000 were produced in 1906 and the remainder in 1908-1914.

With your pistol at # 130 and "altered", does this mean the 1906 1st. Issue Un-altered pistols ran for only a hundred pistols or so...or was yours altered a bit later...?

Any guess as to how many 1st. Issue Unaltered's remained so...?

Thanks for your help...

Regards,

Oh Sure Pete... blame the typo on me... not the guy who thinks his laptop keyboard is supposed to drink Jefferson's Reserve...

Please take note that the typo has been corrected... it has only taken TWO years since the album was posted for someone to find that typo... <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />

Sorry, John S....to take so long.

If this Navy had a Swiss cross, I would have been all over it 2 years ago...

Just recently getting that "urge" deep-down about a Navy pistol...maybe I can find another of those Swiss Navy lugers...seriously...I would like to find a 1906 Navy that got over to Switzerland during its life and got a Swiss-cross added...not one of the Waffenfabrik-USA varieties, though...
