Extremely interesting, thanks

what would be the most desirable American Eagle Luger to collect? the "Fat Barrel"? The "Test Eagle Lugers", etc.. ? Luger with "Ideal holster"?

Ron Wood · 10-23-2013, 07:37 PM

The U.S. Test Trials American Eagle 9mm Cartridge Counter...only 50 made and one of the "holy grails" of Luger collecting both from a rarity and historical standpoint.

Ron how many of the fifty are left or accounted for?

Ron Wood · 10-23-2013, 08:57 PM

44 including four instances of duplicate serial numbers (only 4 or less of those are legitimate), plus one fairly obvious fake. I believe this is the same information I provided the last time you asked that question.
