1900 commercial

ED, et al.

Yes, the finish gave me pause. But then from Ron's past comments, I've learned that the early commercials had the best finishes of all. So... Also I've learned that they marked things differently then. Commercial style, and kindda like Krieghoff had their own system. This one had no marks on: firing pin, hold open, nor the strawed safety lever. Were they blued after proof marks? The toggle proofs seem to be that way....Maybe?

I think I'll keep it.

Thanks All,

FN
