american eagle help

I wish I had run across this post earlier. This pistol is a fake. You dodged a bullet by passing on it. There are no authentic American Eagle (only) Lugers in the Alphabet Commercial range.

The only exception to this are the Lugers imported by the A.F. Stoeger company in the '20s and early '30s. They include the AE and a distinctive right receiver retailer inscription. Caution, this inscription itself is commonly faked, and authentic examples go for more than three times the the price of this pistol.
