1900 American Eagle out of the attic

trigger643 · 02-06-2003, 08:07 AM

I have the gun. Will post pictures tonight. It is Ser# 18864 and is matching, including grips and it does have what appears to be the correct unnumbered wood bottom magazine which is missing the follower button. It is also missing the hold open latch. Front site appears to be a replacement (bead type). Some one "thoughtfully" brazed a stocklug to the back strap at some point. The lug has also been pinned with one pin towards the bottom of trap. Underside of chamber stamped U W 0 8 with what appears to be some sort of stylized sunburst comprised of 4 concentric slashes. The firing pin spring guide has been abused with the wrong size screw driver and I won't attempt to remove it and check on the pin.
