Rare 1902 American Eagle Fat Barrel Luger (22397 - 37470 - RJ)

Description

7/16/25 - 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 what we believe to be an old arsenal re-blued finish with some areas of minor thinning and light brown patina here and there. Fitted with period-correct wood grips and comes with a correct magazine marked "Cal 9m/m" in cursive lettering on the base. The bore shows pitting throughout.
