As Dwight said, estimating the actual number made is sheer guesswork. American Eagles tend to have been made in serial number blocks but there are also single or small group examples thoughout Dwight's data base. Consider also that within the serial number range of Model 1900 Lugers, in addtion to American Eagle examples, there were commercial, contract and test examples scattered throughout. Further, the Old Model did not end in 1902 but extended until approximately1906, with final assembly possibly even overlapping the New Model production.
