Southriv,
Ron and Tom are giving you the straight goods, no gullibility worries. The system is still with us, it is the method by which is derived our modern shotgun guage.
I wish I had a good answer for you on which model--1900/1906 I would lean toward. If the 06 is in 9mm I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. Otherwise I'd have to look at the specifics of the pistols. Is the 1900 an early gun, type-2 thumb safety? or a Test Eagle, perhaps? I'd be attracted to those.
Is the 1906 one of the documented Hans Tauscher Spy Lugers? is the extractor marked Loaded? Again, attractive featurs for me.
Be sure to let us know what you decide, and why.
--Dwight
