This extraordinary DWM Model 1900 American Eagle Luger manufactured by DWM in 1901 as part of an order for 1000 pistols by the Army for troop tests with the U.S. Cavalry. The serial number of this pistol, No. 7168, is listed on page 387 of "U.S. MILITARY AUTOMATIC PISTOLS" by Edward S. Meadows as one of the recording surviving examples of Model 1900 U.S. military test Lugers. This exact pistol is described and photographed on page 52-53 of Luger: The Multi-National Pistol by Charles Kenyon / Richard Ellis Publications. The pistol is complete with: (1) russet leather full-flap holster manufactured by Rock Island Arsenal for the Model 1900 Test Eagle Lugers, (2) russet leather, three pocket magazine pouch with two tin plated magazines with wood bases and (3) black leather, luggage-type case with green felt lining (the case is almost identical to the presentation case illustrated on page 527 of "LUGER HOLSTERS AND ACCESSORIES" by Eugene Bender). The case has compartments for two magazines, a box of cartridges, cleaning rod, tool and punch. The case contains a carton of 50 7.65mm cartridges with English label, combination cleaning rod/oiler with brass shaft, a punch, tool and two plated magazines with wood bases. The pistol has a rust blue finish with straw colored trigger, lock bolt, magazine release, thumb safety lever, toggle lock and extractor. The "safe" position for the safety lever is polished bright. The stocks are walnut with fine checkering. The magazine has a plated finish and un-marked wooden base. The pistol has the distinctive Model 1900 grip safety, dished toggle with lock on the right knob and flat top breech block. The United States crest is stamped on the top of the chamber and the script "DWM" monogram is stamped on the toggle lock. The pistol has commercial serial numbers with the full serial number, "7168", located on the front of the frame and underside of the barrel. Two digit serial "68" is visible on the left side of the lock bolt and the rear toggle. The magazines are correctly not serial numbered. The holster has "US" embossed in an oval on the flap. The back of the holster lacks the "ROCK ISLAND/ARSENAL/EHS" markings found on many Test Eagle holsters. The magazine pouch has a closure strap sewn on the center magazine compartment, a brass closure final riveted to flap and two sewn belt loops. See Meadows book "U.S. Military Holsters & Pistol Cartridge Boxes" on pages 412-413 for discussion of three magazine pouches for the U.S. Cavalry. The leather and stitching are very similar to the holster. The pouch is not marked.
