*SPECTACULAR AND RARE 1900 DWM AMERICAN EAGLE US TEST TRIALS RIG. SN 6415. 30 cal, 4-3/4″ bbl. “DWM” scroll on the center toggle link. American Eagle crest on chamber. Grip safety. Within the serial range for the test trials guns and proper serial placement on right side of takedown lever. All numbered parts are matching down to the original walnut checkered grips. Correct plain wood bottom magazine. Accompanied by an original “US” stamped test trials holster with “ROCK ISLAND/ARSENAL/E.H.S.” stamp on back and “P.G.” stamp on bottom of front flap with original yellow stitching. CONDITION: Gun retains about 95% original blue and 75% straw. There are a few scattered areas of very light pitting. Grips are lightly worn with some minor chips and dents and retain beautiful walnut color with some wood grain showing. Magazine is excellent with only a few minor dings and dents. Bore is worn with light pitting. The accompanying holster is in AMAZING condition. Much of it retains its original caramel color, some wear areas have turned a darker brown. Holster has some light scuffs and flaking. Looking at the inside, it looks like the gun was stored in it, probably in a desk drawer, because although there are storage marks there are no drag marks from it being taken out. The only real give away of its age is the verdigris on some of the brass parts. Most of these guns and holsters saw a lot of use in the Philippines and the tropical climate took its toll on them, it is extraordinary to find a gun and holster of this variation in this condition. 4-44135 (14,000-20,000)
