Got my 1900 shooter!!

[Levallois]

Well Tom Beasley was nice enough to sell me a M1900 American Eagle that was refinished so I could have the early shooter that I was looking for. It arrived today and it's even better than I expected - Thanks Tom !! Anyway, it's perfect except that it's probably going to need mainspring work - knew about this from Tom - but couldn't pass it up.

I can't find the topic that listed what Dwight and/or Ron needed for their respective data bases on these but maybe they already have the info. from Tom? If not, here's are some stats - let me know if you need more.

- 1900 AE - eagle is light probably from buffing
- dark blue finish - no straw
- serial number 8115 - all parts seem to match except grips and extractor
- "Germany" on frame - no halo because of refinishing
- no proofs on barrel just matching serial number
- second type of safety lever - Bobba calls it 1st series, 3rd variation?
- 1st series (less wide) grip safety
- Swiss Bern 24 grips - no markings
- Swiss extractor

Hopefully better photos to follow.
