Earlier I posted a request for information on the stainless steel guns and have only recieved 2 replies. I am hoping that having its own thread will help. I would like to try to make a timeline of when changes were made to these guns and would like the following information about any of them that you have or see at a show:

1) American Eagle chamber stamp (Yes or No)

2) Year of manufacture (if not known then puchase year)

3) Is the year stamped on the chamber (Yes or No)

4) Serial number placement (right side, left side, front)

5) Mitchell, Stoeger or no markings on left side

6) Safety markings (Safe, red dot, plain dot)

7) Grip safety (Yes or No)

8) Stock lug (Actual lug, bulge with no slot, or plain frame)

9) Right side marked AIMCO or SPM

10) Magazine style (Original with vertical rib or new with flat sides)

If I can collect enough examples I will compile the information so we can have an idea of what changes were made when. While I thank the couple of of people who have answered, it is not enough to determine very much.

Even if you just see one at a show, please write the information down and post it or send me a private message. Enjoy these latest variations on George Lugers' masterpiece!
