"Out of Range Eagles"

[burton]

Although I have no tangible evidence to substantiate my theory, I believe that their were between 800 & 1000 "out of range" Model 1900's, made by DWM. This was over and above the 1000 made for the U.S. Army. The approximate serial number ranges were between 5,900 & 6,200 and 7,200 to 7,900, for the out of range eagles.

I believe that although these guns had the American Eagle crest on the receiver they were sold to either foreign military or paramilitary organizations outside of the U.S.

The only way at this late date, ( 106 years after the fact ) we would have any clue to which organization(s) they were sold, to is to trace the ownership/provenance of the known out of range eagles as far back as possible.
