The Finest Known DWM Model 1902 American Eagle "Fat Barrel" Luger Pistol

est. $20-40,000!!!

Description: This is the finest known example of a very desirable early Model 1902 "American Eagle" Luger pistol that is in almost like new condition. These are rare with the fat barrel, as only 600-700 were ever produced, in total for commercial sales in the United States. This model was a continuation of the earlier 1902 commercial Luger however these were specifically intended for the U.S. market. This pistol has the short old style frame with leaf springs and no stock lug, recessed breechblock, dished toggles with toggle lock and grip safety. The barrel extension is also the short old model with the top of the chamber area roll marked with the prominent "American Eagle" crest, with the front toggle correctly marked with the "DWM" logo. These are serial numbered in the commercial manner with the full serial number (22745) on the front of the frame, and underside of the barrel, with the partial serial number "45" on the various small parts. Inside the front frame recess and underside of the barrel extension there is the typical small circled triangle proof. This example has the correct polished lower safety area that is unmarked, and has the correct bright polished old style extractor. This Luger is complete with an original unmarked, nickel plated magazine body with wooden base, marked length wise in script, "Cal. 9m/m".
Condition: Near new with 99% plus original condition with only barely noticeable hints of minor edge wear. The various small parts retain 98% plus of their bright original straw colors. The grips are in exceptional condition with nice sharp checkering on both sides. Mechanically excellent. This is the finest 1902 Fat Barrel Luger Pistol known!
