1900 American Eagle
Today I offer up a mid production 1900 American Eagle, 7.65 mm, all matching, original finish, about 90% blue, 40% straw, Germany marked receiver, plain magazine bottom, nice shiny bore. Some mottling of the blue on the front grip strap, otherwise very clean. Enjoy, Mark

Good looking gun...a classic. I have always been a big fan of the M1900.

None. They weren't sold with holsters. Any contemporary holster that would fit would be purchased separately. This is a gun and holster I found in a gun shop in El Paso.

Nice is an understatement. It has changed over in configuration to include the wide grip safety and the final profile (Type 3??) safety lever. Can we ballpark when made?

Production date can only be vaguely estimated, very broadly late-1901 to mid-1902.
