I learned a lot about halos re: 1906 American Eagles at this thread.

I view understanding and evaluating halos as an advanced collector skill. There seems to be significant variation between years and types re: halos depending on the particular Luger type discussed. And even for variations where halo presence/absence/appearance appear to adhere to general conventions, there seem to be variations.

My own approach is to try and learn about halos for just those variations I'm interested it, as obtaining a broad knowledge of halos for many variations would require examination of many, many pistols, preferably the real thing. Photos help but nothing beats actually inspecting a pistol. I think halo evaluation and knowledge is just one of those areas where you must spend time if you wish to become competent.
