What's wrong with this gun?

Everything...

7.65mm
Bad stock lug removal
Non Navy military proofs
Replaced and oddly numbered barrel
Standard Luger rear sight
Non-navy wood based magazine

The only time this one had anything to do with a "Navy" was when it was shipped over here commercially...

Barrel serial number is hokey, it runs along the barrel instead of across.
Looks like it was rebarreled from a P08 to Navy config

~~Newbie guess~~

Nothing Navy about it; well maybe if one considers a 6" bbl a navy trait.

But that is not a navy barrel, and judging from the front sight, it is likely a one off creation.

I'm not an expert on anything, especially on "Navy Lugers" but I can't understand the point of buying a shooter for that price even it it's partially made with Navy Luger parts.
To each his own...

If this one is a "Navy", then so is my 29/70 6" 9mm Mauser!
