BUG proof

Mike B · 05-07-2013, 09:17 PM

I have had the good fortune of owning a few 1906 American Eagle Lugers over the past several years, both 7.65mm and 9mm. It appears that proof marks on this model Luger varies from none, to a simple crown N and BUG proof. Is there a serial number range that either of the three possibilities fall into? In addition, are the BUG proofed '06 Lugers more desirable or worth more than the others? Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
