1900 AE Test Luger, sn 7085. It is in the Bannerman serial range and is unusual because its take down lever is stamped with the last two digets of its serial number on its right end and also on its left flat. The transition from right end to left flat reportedly happened at about serial number 7108. Dont recall seeing a 1900 AE Test Luger with a takedown lever stamped on both ends before. Thanks for posting. (see page 412-422 Central Powers Pistols for additional photographs and information on US test Lugers.)
