Our Assessment: Introduced in 1994, the Stoeger American Eagle brought the Luger design back to America where it started. Offered in matte black or polished stainless steel, this was an excellent alternative to purchasing a surplus Luger which would be a shame to shoot and tough to afford for many. This Luger copy is ready to hit the range without making collectors cry and stamp their feet. It comes with one magazine and its original case. Please see our photos and good luck!
