I have owned four of these pistols. Still own all but the 1992 Mitchell.

Mitchell Arms American Eagle

Eagle and date on chamber
AIMCO INC HOUSTON TEXAS on right frame
Serial number on left flat
Standard ribbed magazine
(all three as above)

1991 46XX
1992 unknown
1993 36XX

Not that the serial numbers are not consecutive. Should the chamber date be considered part of the serial as in the case of a vintage Parabellum?

Stoeger

Eagle on chamber, no chamber date
"Luger" logo on left flat
STOEGER IND AMERICAN EAGLE on right frame
Serial number above trigger on right S21XX
SPM HOUSTON TEXAS on right
Flat magazine, not interchangeable with standard magazine
