First Post - Need Help With American Eagle

[H0B0 J0E]

Hello!

I recently inherited an American Eagle Luger from my father. It was given to him by his Uncle, who in turn received it as a gift.

I have experience with handguns, but I am completely ignorant about this beautiful handgun. Here's what I can tell you:

1. It is 9mm;

2. The toggle has the scripted "DWM" stamp;

3. The top of the chamber has the American Eagle stamp;

4. The barrel length is 4.75";

5. The serial number is "6172";

6. It has a grip safety;

7. It has a safety lever with safe being the uppermost position;

8. The opposite end of the take down lever is marked "72";

9. The area just below the rear site has a small "15" stamp;

10. The crescent trigger is silver in colour;

11. It has beautiful checkered grips that my father made (truly, a work of art), but I also have the original grips which are light in colour (I can see the word "GERMANY" on the inside of the grips);

12. I have three magazines. Two look like they are phosphated and they have metal bottoms. The other is blued and has a wood bottom.

13. I have what I think is the original leather holster;

14. I can see no other markings; and

15. I have a small "tool" (I have seen pictures of this tool displayed with other Lugers) but I have no idea what it is).

I can take photos if that would help, but I really don't even know what images or information would be useful.

Can anyone tell me anything about this beautiful handgun?

P.S. The bluing looks excellent to me - but what do I know...
