Eric,

That's the little lever on the right side of the inner frame that holds the toggle open after the last shot, or when racked with an empty magazine. They were added later to many early pistols, (around 1913?) and pistols that had the hold open added have a small proof next to the added pin on the outer right side of the pistol frame, above and behind the trigger.
