That would be an unusual Luger! I think you meant that the extractor was marked "Loaded". A "Gesichert" marked 1906 AE is a very early production '06 Eagle, probably in the 25,1xx serial number range with a long frame. One theory is that are that they were made using up left-over 1906 Navy commercial frames. Quite a scarce and desirable Luger.
