Hi Dan,

The "Eastman" luger (only the seller's word that is was Eastman's) was discussed in detail some time back on Jan Still's Gun Board.

Here is the link to that discussion :

http://luger.gunboards.com/topic.asp...hTerms=eastman

Seller seemed rather greedy in only trying to find a consecutive "mate" for this M1900 commercial and then would probably try to sell both as Eastman lugers. The point of fact was the first gun he owns was not established to be that of Eastman and the one used in the suicide...

Maybe the seller is now trying to find a buyer in Europe...as he was not warmly received on the Gun Board...

IMO...it looks like a nice refinished piece from a shop in Gerogia that has mastered the DWM finish technique quite well and is fooling many USA luger buyers...
