An early-1900s American Eagle Luger in .30 Luger, serial 35009, with a 4.75-inch barrel, listed used under SKU 25-02284. This is a commercial 1906 model made for import into the United States. The bore is good, evenly frosted with good rifling. The metal is good with marks and wear throughout and about 80 percent blue mixed with patina. The grips are later replacements and in very good condition.

The American Eagle marking is what collectors look for on a commercial Luger, and this one is an honest, worn example rather than a safe queen; the replaced grips are noted openly. For a Delaware buyer it is a collection piece that can still be run in .30 Luger at the range. Handgun transfers here need the Bureau of Identification purchaser permit, which runs two years, or a current Delaware carry license, and every sale involves photo ID, Form 4473 and a background check at the dealer.
