Thanks for the warm welcome! I will look for an extractor for it as well as a fluted firing pin.
The side plate will be here next week and it actually does look about the same finish wise only does not have the pitting on it like the one I currently have. I will definitely check for the interior numbers though. I paid 130.00 for it, about average for it from what I have seen listed on GB and eBay. I will post pics of it when it comes in.
I am going with wood grips, trying to keep it looking period 1916. Any recommendations on a decent grip that will fit the pistol without much if any modification?
I will also give the stainless steel brush a try, I had read about those a few years ago helping clean up old bores.
Thanks again for all the helpful tips and info!
