I was at a gun show today and came across a guy selling a very nice American Eagle. I was seriously thinking of buying it. Pistol looked mint. I went out to my car which I had a book on Lugers and did a little research. I had the owner take grips of and field strip gun. I found grips were not numbered. Owner had no answer. The mag I though at first the bottom looked plastic. I was told that it was wood and just looked plastic because it was so well finished. I saw no lettering on bottom of mag. Again I questioned owner and he had no answer. Straw parts of gun were very nice. I also noticed no blueing in back of safety when in on position. My question is should grips be numbered? What is correct mag for gun? Gun price was north of $3000. Any feeling on what gun is worth?
