Hi Tim, As I suspected, your Gun is a 1906 Navy, what collectors call a 1st Altered, because the safety has been altered to be safe in the down position. The unit mark on the rear grip strap stands for 1st See Battalion, Weapon #76. This is a rare and desirable unit mark. We would love to see more photos of the gun and magazine so that we can assess condition. Regards, Norm
