OK, now you have added one more piece of information - it has a stock lug. Recapping: it has C/X C/X C/X Eagle proofs, it has a stock lug and it is serial numbered 70427. If you look, it also has a 27 on the bottom of the takedown lever and the bottom of the side plate(unless the sear bar was shortened after the 1916 directive, in which case these parts may have been renumbered in the military exposed style - which I strongly suspect since the "little safety lever" is numbered). With the stock lug it now can be identified as the "1914 Commercial Army" per my previous post.

P.S. The 1914 Commercial Army is even more scarce than the 1908 Commercial Army. The estimated production is 100.
