Heads UP: Test Eagle for Sale

The serial number of this piece was listed in Mike Reese's book on the US Test Lugers, second edition printed in 1976. It was also part of the Bannerman purchase in 1910. So it has been known for quite some time. It is in a little better than average condition for an original Test piece (lots of "brown" but no visible active rust or pitting) and is a pretty good buy at $2400. The magazine is a 1920's commercial but that doesn't detract from the gun itself.
