OK thanks Bill. I was never under the impression that this would be a high end find.....and I'm always on the lookout for a better piece. I am attaching 3 more photos showing the 3 parts of the toggle, and the "42" plus the serial numbered "75"(gun is "5775"). Also on the inside of the toggle are 2 marks: one looks like a number "3" and the other is just too small a proof for me to tell, but perhaps you guys know. These stamps are on both toggle parts, excluding the firing pin holder (for lack of a better word). Maybe these marks designate a refinish of some sort. But now we're getting into identity which is off course, so I will go ahead and re-straw and eventually post the results.
Thanks everyone for all the help.
Bill
