My 1st 1900 A.E. and a test one at that.

Jasta2 · 11-01-2009, 03:25 PM

Many thanks to George Anderson at helping me find three wanted Lugers at one time! A 1900, a American Eagle, and a "Test" Eagle at that, S.N 6764. Sad part is that it was buffed some and reblued. I hope to have "THOR" do what he can to bring it back to more it's original state. Some not so good pictures here. Will do much better pictures when "Thor" is finished.
Thanks,Bill

Just another example of Thor DiVincie's artistic talent!

Thor · 12-09-2009, 11:50 AM

Eric, those are BEFORE THOR pictures above.

He must be referring to your shinning reputation, Thor!

Beautiful "before." Can't wait to see the "after!"

Jasta2 · 05-26-2010, 10:09 AM

VERY glossy reblue before, will be great to see how it originaly looked when new!

cirelaw · 05-26-2010, 10:30 AM

Did Ron figure out how many still exist?

Ron Wood · 05-26-2010, 10:53 AM

Eric,
To date the number of 1900 AE Lugers reported (I have no way of knowing how many still exist

) with Test Trial characteristics are:

6100-7100 range - 338
5978-6099 range - 21
7108-7990 range - 154

Note: Numbers corrected, I was looking at an old list

Thank You Both. You are the keepers! Its amazing the these few are over 100 years old! Does anyone know what the 'Flaming Bomb' signifies

Ron Wood · 05-26-2010, 08:11 PM

It is a DWM inspector's mark, found on Lugers other than the Test Trials pieces as well.

cirelaw · 05-26-2010, 08:21 PM

Thank You Ron, I wonder how he came up with such a cute little symbol! I bet it was his wifes' tatoo.

alanint · 05-26-2010, 08:37 PM

The flaming Bomb is an early representation of the grenadier.

Perhaps its use as a proof was simbolic that this particular weapon did not blow up!!

cirelaw · 05-26-2010, 08:52 PM

Thank You Ron. Are they seen on any other models?
