I have seen another ".45 Luger" in a private collection that is virtually identical to this one except without the American Eagle and Stoger markings. It is a non-functional display piece, and I suspect the same is true for this American Eagle. I do not want to be unkind, but it appears to be a fantasy item. If the bolt face has been opened up to accept the .45 cartridge, it might work as a single-shot, but I am relatively certain it will not feed from the magazine for subsequent shots.
