SOLD - Rare 1902 American Eagle Fat Barrel Luger

Description

11/8/24 - This is a very desirable early Model 1902 "American Eagle" Luger pistol. These are rare with the fat barrel, as only 600-700 were ever produced in total, all for commercial sales in the United States. This model was a continuation of the earlier 1902 commercial Luger however these were specifically intended for the U.S. market, and these were the first 9mm chambered Lugers. This pistol has the short old style frame with leaf springs and no stock lug, recessed breech block, dished toggles with toggle lock and grip safety. The barrel extension is also the short old model with the top of the chamber area roll marked with the prominent "American Eagle" crest, with the front toggle correctly marked with the "DWM" logo. This one has retained nearly all of its finish, but we believe the barrel has been re-blued. Fitted with excellent wood grips and comes with a correct "Cal 9m/m" marked magazine. Very nice bore.
