1908 Navies, the facts.

Norme · 06-01-2018, 04:38 PM

Since the "published list" referred to by CAP Black in the "For Sale" section is almost certainly the one I put out I feel I should correct the record. Firstly, let me say that I have no problem with the gun in question, it looks to be very fine, at least in the photos provided.
Here are the facts:
There are currently 245 1908 Navies listed, not including the 18 totally fabricated guns that I have listed in red.
21 of these guns have been reported with matching magazines. I have not had the opportunity to examine all of these, including the gun sold by Phoenix which had three!
There are 4 guns reported with both a matching mag and matching grips. However, most of the gun reports I receive do not include information on the grips. Research has shown that about half the 1908 Navies produced left the factory with numbered grips so I would expect the actual number of guns with both matching mag and matching grips to be closer to 10 than 4.
