Tom Armstrong, Leo Lavallee and I are compiling all NOS.and UNIT marks on our database. One day when we all have the time a nice reference book will appear. If any of you have 1904, 06, 08, 14 era NAVY guns and would like to contribute your nos please do so.
I have about 450 pieces so far and I am sharing them with author Jeff Noll who did the first book on Reg. Markings from WK 1.

We are still looking for another consecutive numbered pair of any variation. I seem to have the luck of the draw with the only pair ever seen or recorded.

Thanks for your help in advance. Again, I encourage all of you that are interested in Navy Lugers to attend the NAPCA meeting in August in Chattanooga, Tn.

Derek.

All-

The property numbers are normally stamped on the rear grip strap.

eg. 11.T.D.663 Second Torpedo Div. Gun 633.

I agree with Jan that posting the numbers on the site will benefit all.

Mine is a WK 1709 on SN 6xxa I understand That makes it a Bultic Sea Kiel. The Navy proofs on it are "Pentagon",not the tree loops.
