American Eagle 1900 (military)

Thank you for posting your serial number. I have added it to my list of Test Eagles. That makes 28 examples in the "above the range" category that extend from 7112 to 7823. All of these examples share the characteristics of the
Test series (no proofs or Germany markings) but fall outside of the published 6100-7100 range. There is considerable controversy and conjecture about these "above the range" Lugers, and if you search the Forum you will find a lot of posts dealing with this subject.
