American Eagle 7.65

CB Surf
Ok... spent the last 2 days looking up info on a gun I just picked up, an American Eagle 7.65 luger. Serial number 77XX, numbers match on the barrel, receiver and frame. good condition, all original, has the US seal on top, wood tipped magazine, and a faint " S" where the safety is. Does have the grip safety as well. Any idea of an age on this? very low serial numbers??

    CB Surf,

    Am I correct to say that this a DWM manufacture? Does the magazine match too? Is it a 1900, 1906, or 1908 model? Pictures would be a big help. There are some real experts of Lugers on here, and I am sure they will be along soon, and wish to see pictures too.

    Need quality photos for accurate identification and valuation.

    That said, from the information you have provided it's a Model 1900 Luger. Just out of the Test Eagle range, dating to 1901/02? Very similar to the Luger shown in my signature line except for German proof marks and country of origin markings.

    Thanks, I have been looking at the 1900's on the site for sale, mine doesn't have the "germany" under the serial number in the front, I will be posting pics on our website later today, been hard to get a good value on it, but it sure feels nice.

    No German proof marks or country of origin markings would identify it as what is called by American collectors a "Out of Range Test Eagle". This would enhance it's value over a commercial eagle with German proofs and country of origin markings.
