US Test Eagle Or Not...?

Ron,
* Re-reading some old references & ran across the following FWIW:
- AutoMag, Vol. XXX/9-12/97, Pg. 217. Charlie S. reports the acquisition of a 1900 AE, S/N 7119_ with all the characteristics of a US Army Test Luger. Question posed to the membership cause it is "above range". Charlie describes it as "95% all original finish w/ no proofs and no Germany import stamp. However, the Takedown latch is not original so the location of the 2 digit S/N is not available. Internal worker stamps(flaming bomb) are identical to his other 2 US test guns."
* 7 years ago & 2nd hand....the trail may be obscured; but, I thought you'd like to know.
* If you get a hold of him, ask if he has any more conclusions to Imperial worker stamp frame well #'s from his AutoMag research/study request.
Respectfully,
Bob
