Why no love for this 1902 AE?

Since it lost the original windowed grip panel, I would think it's a regular 1902 fat barrel with mismatched grip panels.... probably plus some amount due to the s/n.

Is the situation like a "Party Leader" PPK without the eagle grips, except the s/n range being known in this scenario?

Hi Alvin, I don't collect these guns but I do know that their frames differ from those of regular AEs. The internal web has been machined away so that the slot in the magazine is visible through the grip. Regards, Norm
