Rifles #3407088-3427087 (from the first "block" of numbers) were diverted, and the first "03-A3" converted was delivered in February 1943. On 20 June 1943 an additional 8,365 M1909A4 rifles were ordered. "Block" for these rifles and possible future orders was 4922001-5784000. After this block had been used to 4997045, receiver marking was changed to "03-A4" and a new series of numbers begun with Z4000000. The second "block" of "03-A3" numbers was used only to about 4168800 before cancellation of contract ended "03-A3" production 28 February 1944. In March 1944, with receiver Z4002290, production of the M1903A4 was ended. Total production was 1,056,276 rifles, which included about 345,000 M1903 and M1903 (modified), about 711,276 M1903A3, and just 26,653 M1903A4 (short of the 28,365 ordered)

This seems to be about the time W.R.A. switched from 2.5 million serial numbers to 1.6 million. These are often referred to as WIN-13 rifles. The 2.5 million numbers stopped in the area of 2,535,XXX which places it about 39,000 rifles from the end of production in June 1945. It is believed that approximately 40,000 WIN-13 rifles were produced. In addition, rifles in the 1.6 million serial number range have been observed ranging from number 1,602,XXX through 1,639,XXX. All of this supports the January 1945 date for the serial number range change. 1932-1934 – 80 1937 AUG-120 SEP-307 OCT-539 NOV-696 DEC-1034 1938 JAN-1186 FEB-1338 MAR-1809 APR-2213 MAY-2406 JUN-2911 JUL-2911 AUG-3537 SEP-4386 OCT-5242 NOV-6072 DEC-6972

Christmas LUGER PISTOL M1900 AMERICAN EAGLE SECOND ISSUE 7.65MM U.S. ARMY TRIALS

The listed serial number represent 770 pistols purchased by Bannerman & Sons from the United States Government Arsenal at Springfield Armory in 1906. These are the only documented specimens of trial pistols issued by the U.S. Army from 1901-1905. The original order from Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, Germany was for 1000 pistols. The 230 pistols whose serial numbers are not shown were probably rendered useless in various tests. It is quite possible however that a small number of these unrecorded specimens came into private hands. 6176-6196 6282 6361-7108 7147 There is no definite marking employed by the United States Government which will positively identify these pistols. Any stamped letters, numbers or ordnance type flaming bombs found on the frame or receiver can not be attributed to any United States government agency. If a M1900 American Eagle, second issue pistol is suspected of being a trial specimen it will have the following characteristics: 1. Serial number range 5800 to 7800. 2. The word Germany will not appear on the pistol. M1902 LUGER PISTOL 9MM The introduction of the 9mmm cartridge caused the purchase of at least five additional pistols. 10030B - a prototype specimen 10060 - a prototype specimen 22414 22425 22435
