1906 AE Proof Question
 

I know I've been laying low lately but I have been busy with grandkids and that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! I did manage to pry myself away long enough to pick up a nice 1906 AE in 9mm that looks to be all correct SN# 33460 except that it has no proof marks but for a shield with a strike through it under the barrel. Witness mark is perfect and the pistol shows no sign of ever being tampered with. I will get some pics up when I get time. I know proofs are a little all over the place on these pistols but this one has me scratching my head a bit. Cheers to all. Clint

Hi Clint,
There is a range of early 1906 AE Lugers that have no proofs. Yours is obviously one of AE's in this range.

Hi Clint welcome back to this forum. I'm loking forward to see the pictures of your Luger.

Here area few pics I took this A M

Anybody know if this barrel proof mark is good to go?

The "shield" shaped mark on the barrel isn't a proof mark, it is a DWM inspector's mark. Not too unusual on these early guns, Pretty nice looking piece by the way.

Thx Ron I was a little befuzzeled on it!

That's a great 1906 AE for sure.
It has just the correct amount of patina and wear.
Congratulations!

Thx guys. I really think AEs are cool so I'm happy to pick this one up.
