Extremely interesting, thanks

what would be the most desirable American Eagle Luger to collect? the "Fat Barrel"? The "Test Eagle Lugers", etc.. ? Luger with "Ideal holster"?

Ron Wood · 10-23-2013, 07:37 PM

The U.S. Test Trials American Eagle 9mm Cartridge Counter...only 50 made and one of the "holy grails" of Luger collecting both from a rarity and historical standpoint.
