Phil Schreier of the NRA National Firearms Museum evaluates an American Eagle Luger on American Rifleman TV's 'I have this old gun', episode 507.
The only 'American Luger' that I ever saw and handled was in the era of1980-1981. Working part time in a Florida Gun Shop, two older gentlemen came in to inquire about having a handgun 'Re-finished'. The handgun taken out of a leather handgun case was a 'American Luger'!
After explaining why it was not a great idea to have this pistol 'Re-finished' the gentleman owner of the Luger told me that years ago as a young man he was 'Exploring' in the woods near 'Little Bohemia' Wisconsin. On an old fence post he found this pistol. Inquiries at the local post office bulletin board brought forth no one claiming ownership of the pistol. The locals surmised that one of the Dillinger Gang members put the pistol on the fence post while climbing the fence to escape the FBI and being in a hurry forgot the pistol.
The Luger had only a slight discolor on the muzzle and otherwise was in excellent condition. The story sounded plausible and the 'Discovery' most likely happened shortly after the 'Little Bohemia Incident'.
The Luger P08 pistol, also referred to as the Pistole Parabellum, was first produced in 1900. It was designed by Hugo Borchardt but patented by Georg J. Luger. Though the Luger was used mostly by German forces in World War I and II, Finland, Switzerland and Poland also adopted the pistol for field use. Thanks to its smooth design and telltale curved butt, the Luger remains coveted by collectors. Before having your pistol appraised, you'll need to locate and record all of its serial numbers.
