Thanks Ed,
Your and Dwight's comments make sense,
and raise good issues.
Still the pistol is interesting- I do wish there were a picture of the "25" marking mentioned on the barrel. There must be more "evidence" writ on that piece than seen in the pictures or mentioned in the description.

So, I have learned a bit since then but not enough -
- You see the Triangle large S before the 20's and I am trying to learn about this marking (I have seen it on commercial items and the 25 acp)
- you see the eagle 6 AFTER they received the contracts IMO
- I have a 1925 rifle receiver that has eagle 6
WW1 rifles were marked with crowns, not eagles
so repairs marks I am inclined to think eagle 6 as new parts, rather than repaired parts
