firebird

Joerg, I wonder if your friend is calling any luger with an American Eagle on the chamber a "Firebird". Another posibility is one of the Mauser Parabellums marketed by Renato Gamba, Mauser's Italian distributor. They used a stylized eagle over RG as their logo. Finally, there have been several awful heavily engraved commerical commeratives offered, usually gold plated at golden prices.
