1900 Luger

Hi Kyrie,

Perhaps I am not understanding your replies correctly, but it seems to me that you have twice now given the impression that these are counterfiets or forgeries. I most certainly can not agree with that. Until a list is provided with all the serial numbers of the exact test guns, you and I are both just speculating on what is a test gun and what isn't. But to suggest that they are counterfiets or forgeries because they have these certain characteristics is most certainly speculation also. There is getting to be a large number of collectors that think that these are actually some of the test guns, based on what was discussed in some of the above posts. As more serial numbers are recorded and more information becomes available, we will learn more about these guns. 7147 was purchased by Bannerman and it is out of the established range, which in my mind, gives some credibility to these guns. Interesting batch of guns regardless.
