American Eagles

To my knowledge, there was never a "word" under the safety lever on any pre-1906 Luger. However, I may be mistaken regarding the 1904 Navy.

The major differences between the 1902 and 1906 Eagles are ...

1902 Eagle has:
A thicker barrel
A flat main spring
A dished toggle with toggle lock
An early breech block
A strawed extractor
A grip safety

1906 Eagle has:
A more tapered barrel
A coiled main spring
A flat, knurled toggle with no toggle lock
A redesigned breech block
A blued extractor
No grip safety
Frame possibly marked "GESICHERT" lower
