American Eagle Proof Survey

Dwight Gruber · 04-17-2004, 03:50 PM

A few days ago I asked a question about 1906 American Eagle proofs, which nobody came up with a convenient answer to. So, I am going to take the bit between my teeth and try to find the answer the long way.

I am collecting data on the proofs found on American Eagle (only) versions of 1900, 1902, and 1906 Lugers. They will be most likely be Crown/BUG, lazy Crown/N, or no proof. Hopefully, the statistics will reveal something about Luger production.

Please post or send me at mailto:dwightg@pacifier.comdwightg@pacifier.com</a> , or Lugerforum Private Message, the year, serial number, and proof (or lack of proof) of any American Eagle Luger you own or observe. I will maintain the confidentiality of all participants. When I eventualy post the results they will be model, serial number, and proof only, with no connection to an individual.

The survey is best served by inclusion of the full serial number, xx's are frustrating and don't allow the statistics to completely focus the results.

I've started the process by searching the online dealer sites, and any other source I could find, which makes this information available. This is why there are some xx serial numbers. The no-serial-numbers also come from dealer sites. The Test Eagle examples are included simply because they were there--I am not trying to duplicate Ron Wood's work, but simply report the samples as they come in.

Also, if you are reporting a 1906AE, please note if it is in .30 cal. or 9mm.

Thanks very much in advance to everyone who chooses to participate.
