1902 American Eagle

Dog1 · 12-10-2002, 04:02 PM

I have a 1902 American Eagle. All the numbers match, the finishes appear correct and original. The mag is wood bottom and unmarked. Holster wear on the left side and bottom, the rest of the pistol is 90%, I would say overall 75%.

Is the magazine correct for this particular model?
What is it's approximate value and where would be the best place to market the pistol?

Dog1,

In order to give a really close estimate of the value of your Luger, you should really post a few closeup photos for evaluation. This is a simple process and there is a tutorial to upload and display them in the Site Help & Feedback forum.

This site has a for sale forum where the gun could be offered to members. There are also auction sites (AuctionArms.com or Gunbroker.com) where you could run it for auction, but in any event, any serious offers would require photographs on which to base the bid. They should be closeups... in focus, and show the top, and both sides. There are identification sheets located on the Technical Information link on the left frame. The information called for in these sheets will be requested by any potential buyer. You also neglected to say which caliber your Luger is... this could be significant.

If you require assistance with photos or stamp identification, just ask.

Thanks for the information. I have always liked the Lugers and this looked like a nice example. There appears to be a lot to know about the pistols when seriously collecting them.
