U.S. Test Data Update

Ron Wood · 09-02-2013, 04:24 PM

I haven’t posted an update to the U.S. Test Trials Luger data base for a while and there have been a fair amount of new serial numbers reported in the intervening time. As always, to qualify for inclusion a gun must be a Model 1900 American Eagle in the approximate 6000-8000 serial number range that has no proofs, no GERMANY export stamp and the take down lever marked on the right end round up until approximately serial number 7108 when it moves to the flat side on the left (examples close to 8000 may be marked commercial style on the bottom of the take down). The data is broken up into three categories; the main category lists those examples in the 6100-7100 range, and the other two categories list those examples below and above that range. Enjoy.

Great work. That's what this forum is all about.

Great work and thoughtful input for your fellow collectors. Even though I have been collecting Lugers longer than most forum members, it is through efforts such as Ron and others that we owe so much for the extensive amount of information that they have imparted to the member base. Thanks Ron,

Mike

I wonder if a show of appreciation and thanks is enough?

Well I, for one, am in favor of doubling his salary as a moderator.

Oh, wait... 0 x 0 = 0

0 x 2 = 0

I guess that won't work. So thanks Ron for all your contribute...

The bountiful information and the great friends this forum provides is more than ample reward. Thanks to all.
