Ouestion from new guy

That certainly is the correct serial number range for a 1906 American Eagle, so you very likely have identifed it correctly.

To restore or not to restore, that is the question. You say that the blueing is not that great, but how bad is it? A Luger does not have to look "new" to still be in great shape. Are all the markings clear, all the edges crisp and at least 90% blue remaining? If so, it is getting harder and harder to find an original, untouched Luger in that condition, and probably is more valuable unrestored. If it is pretty worn or has a fair amount of pitting, then restoration is a consideration and Thor does a great job.

Is there any chance you could post a couple of clear pictures of both sides? That would help a lot in assessing the condtion of your Luger. I am very fond of these early grip-safety Lugers and enjoy looking at them all.
