John,
The probability that this is a Test Luger is very high. But, as has been repeatedly stated, the only proof positive is if the piece was part of the Bannerman purchase as they were recorded by serial number. There are the 50 pieces that were traded by the Army for the 9mm Cartridge Counters and records of individual purchases of Test guns that do not have serial numbers associated. Any Luger not on the Bannerman list but falling in the approximate 6100-7200 serial number range may have been a Test piece. But obviously, out of that 1100 pistols only 1000 of them qualifiy. We may never know which ones are actual Test examples.
