What Makes A US Test Eagle...?

Sniper · 08-23-2003, 11:17 AM

I just purchased a 1900 American Eagle Luger. The serial number is 7555. There is the number 55 stamped on the left side of the strawed take down lever. Type 2 thumb safety.
I purchased the piece on consignment last week at a pawn/loan store in Nevada. It came with the original US stamped russet leather holster and one unmarked wood bottomed clip in a brown russet leather clip pouch. I removed the grips and saw "55" on each of these as well as the word "Dawson" in ink longhand written on inside. Every other piece I can see on the inside/outside has a "55" on it as well. No proof marks anywhere that I can see. I paid $1500. Just really liked the gun. It was my birthday and my wife said "get it". Just wanted to know how I made out. Any email would be apprecieated. Thanks, Tom
