1900 Test Eagle?

MFC · 11-28-2011, 03:10 AM

I was lucky to find this “Test Eagle” at the last Tulsa gun show. The dealer said it came from a recently purchased collection. It was labeled as a 1900 American Eagle (only). I recognized that the serial# fit into the Test Eagle range but, I didn’t mention it to the dealer. It was reblued long ago so the dealer was willing to negotiate. We finally agreed on a price as I was leaving the show Sunday afternoon. I struggle with the fact that it was reblued but, it is fully matched including the grips. It also came with a flaming bomb mag. It’s slowly growing on me.

#7008 fits into all accepted Test Eagle ranges but, it is not on the Bannerman list. It does have all the characteristics of a Test Eagle.
No proofs
No GERMANY export stamp
