Default 1900 American Eagle help

Hello all, I have the opportunity to acquire my first American eagle but do not know enough to make an educated decision. I have several reference books and have read through the forum but still in the dark.

This is a 1900, 7.65, 4-7/8" barrel, serial number is in the 5000 range. It has matching numbers on all but the hold open, firing pin and toggle pin- these parts are unnumbered. Are these parts supposed to numbered? In addition, the word "Germany" is under the serial number on the frame. Is this correct?

I definitely know the magazine is incorrect as it has an aluminum base and marked w/Eagle/63, a WW2 mag.

I know these rarely present themselves. With the questionable items above would this still be considered a collector piece or a shooter or in a category in between?

Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Rick
