Dwight,
The breechblock is Crown/N marked and it has the original GELADEN extractor that was with it when I got it. I suspect that the frame, like the receiver, is a 1900 American Eagle, but I have no way of knowing for sure. It would be highly unlikely that it is a non-AE frame with the GERMANY export stamp on it. You have already figured out that the receiver is a 1900 (I also edited my earlier post to add the â??1900â?�). The receiver retains the radius in front of the breechblock and is not dished out like the New Model receiver. I just cut a relief in the receiver to accommodate the later extractor.

To the rest of you guys, thanks for the kind words. The baby has been in its current configuration for nearly 20 years, so I guess it is time I get on the ball and finish it.
