Pix of the estate AE1906

Simpson Ltd has, at the moment, only one example of an AE 1906, described and priced as:

"DWM 1906 AMERICAN EAGLE; 30 cal; 98% blue, 98% straw, smooth bore, excellent grips, experimental sideplate had been modified to allow removal only when toggle is up, very professionally done, s/n 670xx, Catalog Number AE-16 C2024 $2,395.00 "

which can be viewed at:

This Luger has been on their site for an extended period, probably because of the "smooth bore" which I have assumed to be a bore that is worn out, and the "experimental sideplate." I've not been able to reconcile a worn out bore with a pistol that looks so nice and is rated 98/98 percent for blue and straw so there is more to this than my limited experience allows me to understand.

Earlier listings included other examples, priced in the high $2K if my memory serves me for high ninety percent blue and straw.

I wish I owned one.
