American Eagle Luger, model 1900?

If you add up the number of Lugers included in the Bannerman purchase you will come up with 772 (not 770 as it appears in most literature). The range 6361-7108 includes both the beginning serial number and the ending serial number so it accounts for 749 weapons (and not 748 which is the difference between the two numbers). The same applies for 6176-6196 which is 21 weapons. Adding in the two single examples, 6282 and 7147, you get 772. I think that faiure to take this into account resulted in the 770 figure.

At any rate, 1000 minus 770 is 230, the number of "missing" pieces (actually should be 228).
