Eric, when you mention that your US Test Luger is in "unfired condition", many collectors will find that unusual or suspicious. There does not exist a single US Test Luger in unfired condition, unless you are the very lucky guy to own this extraordinary Luger.

The Luger came from my old friend and mentor Ralpj Shaddack personal collection, and my Test Luger came from his personal collection, Whether it was a VIrGIN, DOES IT REALLY MATTER!

How would you know that? Could a 1900 Eagle have been taken a put away, and even if it was test fired, it could be in 99%, Would it make any difference, if You owned it? Res Ipso Loquitor!
