John,
I would guess that the third leaf was added to strenghten a weak spring. A good idea, without having to buy another spring. I bet there aren't many people shooting a M1900 anymore, let alone an all matching one. She's still pretty after 106 years. I put one mag through mine when I got it. It was the smoothest shooting semi auto pistol I've shot. I really want to shoot it again... but probably won't.
Thanks for the heads up on the ver. 3 database... many more #'s and mines back.
Mike C.
