1900 miss-match what do I have?

Randall thanks for the kind words. I am slowly gathering spares for it as I really enjoy shooting it. Someone used this as a "project gun". The grips have a palm swell on the right grip, and there are marks on the frame from the grips being checkered. The frame has been re-blued at least once. The bore is a little rough, but still capable of more accuracy than I can currently. I also have a Mauser 29/70 9mm 6" barrel. I've had it about 20 years. I found with mine it didn't like any factory ammo I could get, and was not reliable with as much Unique powder as I thought was safe. I switched to 700x powder and the gun works perfectly. Regarding other comments on the 29/70, my original magazine is unreliable, modern Meggar mags fit loosely, but function and do fall out.
