a well-used 1900 Test Eagle

Interesting - the mismatched barrel leads me to thinking it is more likely to be a test than not.
When you read the original documents, it states a couple of times of guns being gathered, and parts scavenged from other guns from the ones purchased.
Clark and Dwight have been looking into this for a number of years, I am hoping they get further information - although Dwight posted a comment recently on the test lugers.

It would me too, IF the upper number were in the recognized/reported range and not over 100#'s before.
