US test Lugers (45 Eagle?)

TzDreamer · 09-24-2007, 02:09 PM

I heard about the US testing some 45 caliber Lugers back just before WWI. I had a co worker claim to have one. Can some one point me in a direction on learning more about them? Is there a serial # range.

I normally wouldn't be concerned but this same individual claimed the M1 Garand started out with a flip up rear sight like the 03 and a hooded front sight. I know better then that so I had to call him on it.

Now I would like to know more about the 45s we tested. How many...where... when and what might have happened to them? Are there reproductions and the best way to recognize them.

thank you

Rob
