1900 AE questions

[bill m]

I have been told that all 1900 American Eagle Lugers were marked Germany they were a test piece? Also, the last 100 were suppose to have the last two digits of the serial number on the left outside flat side of the takedown lever. I have 7735 and have been told numerous times that this is a test piece because of the 35 on the left flat of the takedown lever and no German and no proofs. In Auto mag a while back there was a couple even higher than mine with these same characteristics. The old rule is that 6100 to 7100 is the established lot, but people have told me that there are some lower and higher than these and that if you run into a 1900 American Eagle without proofs, no Germany, and marked on the round right side, or the left flat side of the takedown lever, you more than likely have a test gun, but, you might have a hard time convincing some people that it is. What do you think??
