I would be very suspicious of a 1900 AE with a type 1 safety. The type 1 safety was phased out around serial number 900, give or take a few, and the 1900 AE appeared at #2002. I have heard of a couple of three-digit serial number American Eagles, but have never examined one. It is remotely possible that they may have a type 1 safety. I am no authority on price ranges but I would guess $2500...$4500...$6000 respectively.
