Serial number: 13246
GERMANY haloed or no: yes
American Eagle haloed or no: possibly
Absence of AE, i.e., a standard commercial model: ???
Proof stamp, if present: no

Pics attached. Additional info: flat-top breechblock; scalloped toggles; toggle lock; full-width grip safety; full-width trigger guard; 7.65mm x 120mm bbl; no proofs or acceptance stamps; serials + germany only markings; no stock lug; no 'gesichert' under safety lever.

I can not tell if the eagle has a halo; it may only be the slightly-rounded edges of the roll-stamping reflecting the light. Halo on germany is better viewed under less magnification.

Appears to be standard export model. IIRC, I looked in someone's database some years ago and decided it may be of 1902 manufacture...Bought from/with help of, Floyd at Simpsons...

Edit: The more I look at the eagle, the more I think it is haloed...
