Thank you gentlemen. This is one of the prizes of my collection.

Mike,
The Luger came out of a bar in New Jersey where it had been used to pay a rather large overdue bar tab sometime in the '50s. I do not know how many examples there are still around, but I suspect less than a dozen originals with probably just as many fakes. The manual came out of St. Petersburg, Russia, and is the only example in a collection that I have heard of so far.

Eric,
I am not aware of any specific guide provided with the 1900 Test Luger. I would think that if any were provided, they would have been the same as any contemporary 1900 Commercial manual.
