Default Re: Luger ID

Sounds like you have a 1906 Commercial American Eagle in a holster made for the 1900 Trials Luger. The American Eagle and GERMANY are good indications that the pistol was actually intended for the American commercial market, and it is doubtful that it would have been captured in Germany. The Circle B proof on the barrel shows up in the approximate serial number range that you indicated.

If the holster is one of the Trials holsters, it is a rare piece in itself. Do you have any way of posting a picture?
