Depends, maybe on what the numbers are? Mike??

Dwight & Ron,

I will post the numbers when I am at the shop and have the records handy. Both of these guns have been know since the very early 60's. They match DWM records that have been in my family for years.

Regards,
Mike

Dwight and Ron,

Finally ran across the serial numbers I have on the early 1900 Eagles. I have the following numbers recorded #735 and #792 which is on Dwights list.

Sorry it took so long.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks Mike. Those numbers are close enough to be "comfortable".

Mike,

Thanks very much for the info. Is one of these the gun pictured on pages 62-63 of Luger Variations?

Dwight,

I will have to do some checking and see if I can find out. Harry did own #735. So it very well could the gun pictured.

The authentic test clips that were issued are wooden bottoms, simular to all the early clips, with the exception of a tiny flaming fuzed round bomb, I submitted a closeup to our forum, Im told, when one recently sold for $800.00
