American Eagle ? 7.65....advice

You have an American Eagle .30 caliber Pistol. the Serial Numbers 30900 would indicate that it was made well before WW-1. The barrel should be 4.75 inches long..a very slender and attractive barrel [when compared to the later guns]


All the major parts should have the full number...the small parts should all have '00' on them?


It should have a grip safety, the area under the safety lever should be 'bright'. The extractor, when lifted up by the cartridge should say 'loaded'


DWM stand for Deutche Waffen und Munitionfabrik...[or something like that..I don't do German] which means German Weapons and Munitions....


The blue is a rust blue, if original..it is fragile so store the gun in a cotton sock..[not a holster!] after rubbing light oil all over it except the wood grips..


The magazine should be bright metal with a wood base...it, too, could be marked 'Germany'


Value depends greatly on the condition...
