American Eagle Luger, model 1900?

[Ron Wood]

Balder,

I am in the process of trying to track down the source of the serial number range, 5800-7800, from the folks at Springfield Armory. I have left a voice mail for the gentleman that made that entry on their website. I will let everyone know what I find out.

I would appreciate very much knowing the last two digits of your Luger's serial number to add to my list of known Lugers in or near the range of the test pieces. you can send me a private message if you wish. I have recorded 7303, 7304, 7319, 7332, 7346 and 7348 in the 7300 range.

If it is not prohibitively expensive, I would recommend relining your original matching barrel to 7.65mm/.30 Luger rather than replacing it. Although it will still not be "original" it will be a lot closer than if it was replaced.
