Thank you all for the insight.

The side plate is a serial number match to the frame and barrel. I didn't have good enough light last night to see it.

Can I safely assume with the caliber marking on the barrel that this is a 9mm, or is there a question about that with this being a parts gun?

What intrigues me is with the exception of the take down lever, all of the non matching parts, match each other with serial number 26 including the grips. Almost as if someone took two guns and made one. Are there small internal parts that would be numbered as well?

Thanks for letting me know this is original finish. Whenever I see a 100 year old "parts gun" in this great shape, I assume it to be a refinish. I am happy to be corrected.

If I were to look for a period correct magazine, what should I be looking for and how much should I expect to pay for a correct magazine for this gun?

I guess all that is left to do is take it to the range and see how she shoots!

Thanks again,
Dave
