Herb, I believe the safety lever on the commercial you are talking about (#4771) is probably the flat first type. My 1900 Eagle, serial #95xx has the second type. This makes it a little more desirable. The commercial 1900's were imported later than the 1900 Eagles, I think. Thus the marking on the right side of the frame may have been InterArmco, Fairfax, Virginia, although I believe they were loacted in Alexandria. In any event, its an importer stamp. It's a shame that it's been reblued. This really diminishes its collector's value. Dwight is probably correct in his estimate of around $700.
