The mirror images faked me out for a moment also! You have a very nice looking early 1900 Swiss Commercial with the early Type II thumb safety. A later reinforced Swiss extractor has been installed. The rear sight is as original and has not been modified to a U shape. You either photographed it with two different magazines or the metal disc is missing from the right side of the magazine base.
It would be helpful to know the serial number of the gun and perhaps a couple of photos of the magazine. I am guessing it is a 3-digit serial number, perhaps 540?
Do you have a macro setting on your camera? It usually is indicated by a flower symbol. That will allow you to take close up photos that are in focus.
Thanks for the pics and hopefully you can provide a bit more info and photos. It is a quite desirable gun but, as such, it needs pretty detailed information to better assess value.
