model 1900 'Chilean trials' sn 10010 found

Hello Jason,

It seems we have a parallel mix up when you sent me a private message 11 days ago from the Jan Still Forum and when I first contacted you from this forum a few days ago when I saw the images of your M1900/02 Long Barrel Luger. I gave you my e-mail address to send images of the other Luger pistol serial #10000B.

Without forgetting my dear friend Ron whose knowledge on the subject I always value - expect for the M1906 'Russian Contract' Lugers

- we both appreciate and bless your very rare Luger pistol and will gladly share our knowledge with you as we learn more information about these special order pistols (several with the 'GL' hallmark such as my M1900/02 'GL' Tangent Sight Luger serial #20 with a 155 mm barrel without a stock lug) which were made and sold/delivered between 1902 and 1910.

Enjoy,
Albert

Albert,

I sent you an email. Your tangent-sighted M1900 is very unique. I haven't come across another early model with these features and a barrel of this length. I think it is truly one-of-a-kind. The toggle mounted tangent sights are works of art and I aspire to someday add a tangent-sight Luger to my collection.

A little more info about my fixed sight sn 10010- it has been 'fixed up' a little bit between when it was photographed in black and white by Sturgess and when it came into my possession last year. It has been refinished to some extant and the original narrow grip safety has been replaced with a wide one. The grips have also been replaced. The action is tight and the bore is very nice leading me to believe it was shot very little.
