Hey, this guy has a good thing going. This is the second or third time he has offered one of these "kits" and they go for large bucks every time. They are a neat little item, but somebody needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

Stick with us Ed...thats why we're here, to help.

Pete Ebbink · 04-21-2005, 08:26 PM

Actually...the dumb and dumber folks bidding up to $ 12K on this 1906 "Navy" with a short/frame are the folks that are throwing some serious money away...they really need to spend a couple hundred dollars on books and join the Luger Forum...

WOW...why don't any of these buyers walk into my shop? I'm sure I can find something to sell them!

Holy crochet needles; this is NUTZO. I wonder what I could get for my real stuff with some good pix?

I am disappointed that none of you have bid on my Luger Fatbarrel (do search on ebay under "Fatboy"), Fatboy, Fatbarrel, Harley-Davidson, Luger. Same difference.

I am wasting my money on things like this:

Edward Tinker · 04-21-2005, 11:16 PM

Oh, jeez, it doesn't have GERMANY stamped on it....

Hi Ed,
Nice 1900, what's the serial number? I am still very interested in the whole test Luger scenario. I know that nobody, or at least nobody so far, really has it work out. I have one 1900 test that I am sure is a test gun, on the Bannerman list (SN 6437). I have another that I didn't think was when I bought it, but Dwight has convinced me that it is (SN 7857). If guns with that high a seral number were test guns then what about the 6100 to 7100 guns? Some either are not test guns or there were a lot of "replacement guns" to make up more than 1,000. The Bannerman list rules out the 6100 to 7100 only theory as it contains 9 gun out side that range. It was speculated that replacements could account for the 9 (7101 to 7108 and 7147) on the Bannerman list. But guns all the way up to 7857, and maybe higher, seems like a stretch. What are other's opinions? How do we explain the non Germany marked 1900's?

Comments anyone?
Bob M.

Edward Tinker · 04-22-2005, 10:02 AM

The sn is 7759

Not because of this gun, but the test guns were not sn like done later, I believe that they were not consecutive blocks of AE's that came to America. i.e. specific Brazilian sn block, specific sn for Dutch, specific for all the other contracts...

The way to disprove that some guns are NOT test in the 6100-7100 block is to find guns that were marked Germany and have proofs...

If taken from production, they would "mostly" be the same serial numbers. The trick is, how many lugers were made daily at DWM during this time period? If 100 a day, then several hundred off is possible, 300 a day and 600-900 is possible?

Also, the question begged to be answered is, were they just taken from inventory and stamped with an AE last? If so, then the numbers which were applied prior to that, would also not be consecutive.

Also, if there were replacements, they sure would never follow immediately after the 7100 numbers, unless DWM wasn't making any other guns.

I don't know, it is not in the best of shape, but then these guns were used hard? Even if *just* an early AE, it is a nice enough one for me.

Back to the start of the posting...looks like the seller has gotten folks to nibble on his $ 500 offering :

Isn't this one of the ones GT made and offered for sale on the cheap...?

luger11 · 04-22-2005, 10:32 PM

Hi Pete..my 2 cents........you would have to own a lot of damaged mags to warrent the cost of this "tool". I have owned a lot of mags and NEVER had one that I felt needed repair.
