U.S.Test Lugers

They are coming out of the woodwork...but they are costly

Randy Bessler - #645X - $7995
Joe Salter - #6841 - $7500

Nice looking examples. If any forum members acquire one of these, could you please let me know (privately via PM if you wish) so I can update my records with current owner. I do not give out this information unless you authorize it, but it helps to maintain a historical track.

Ron, are these new additions to your list? or just change of owner transitions... just curious.

They are new. There are lots of new numbers since I last posted a list. I have been updating the list and article for Jan Still to be included in his next book. The number of "in range (6100-7100)" Lugers now stands at 327 plus 7108 and 7147 in the Bannerman purchase, with an additional 161 "out of range" pieces. Lots of explanation goes with this list but I won't be providing any advanced info prior to Jan's publishing.

Ron,
Would you be kind enough to post the in-range list up-dates.
or up-date your chart
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
Gotta check with Jan. I don't want to steal his thunder for his new book...not that my list is going to matter much when it comes to sales. He already has folks standing in line for multiple copies!
