Remember, on the 1906 model you have to press the grip safety in before you can draw back the toggle and swing down the locking lever...

The green grease is more than likely waffenfet or automatenfett. Waffenfett is yellow/amber grease that can turn (light) green with age and/or exposure. Waffenfett is conjectured to be a sperm oil & lanolin based grease, and was replaced by automatenfett in the '50s. Automatenfett is a dark grey/green lithium grease.
Both are excellent.

The main reason I wanted to post photos is because I think the green grease may have been applied a long time ago. Terrible hard time removing the locking bolt. Tracking down reason was rather simple after changing out the trigger plate with another. The tang on the side of the trigger plate that the locking bolt covers was too thick. Who knows when it was installed (may be original form the factory) but did not show signs of forced removal, which I had to do (wood dowel) and so might have limited actual use of gun! Very little wear on sharp edges and the green grease on most parts. Still have to do a better cleaning of barrel (looks like inside of smooth glass tube because of grease.

Over all shape of gun is excellent. All parts of gun match, even grips. When I figger out how to post photos - will do so.

Not bad buy for $850.00
