1900 American Eagle #7398

Tom,

That was my understanding of the "flaming bomb" proof as well.
I have never read anything about replacement of the original test Lugers (was this during trials?).
Can you point me to any books that discuss this replacement process?
Really wanting to better my understanding of the test trials now that I own a close serial number example.

I know the chance this pistol was used in the test trials is slim to none but it's neat to think it may possibly have been. Unfortunately to the best of my knowledge anything after 7200 or so is not likely to have been used in the trials.

Thanks!
