Hi new guy with 1906 American Eagle

I'm confused. Are you gentlemen indicating that the forward toggle link and recoil lug should not be numbered, or that they are numbered incorrectly. or...?

i think they're saying the 17 on the front toggle underside is engraved not stamped...i don't think so, looks ok

Ok I am a little confused. This 1906 AE has all the pieces marked that MFC stated should be marked earlier in this tread. The only exception is the handgrips? All markings seem to have the large font except for the sideplate. Some of the markings seem to be lightly struck as in the right handgrip, breech block and the grip safety. As far as the take down lever in person it looks just like the other large font markings. I was able to zoom in and the 1 is kind of funny but it is on the edge of the circumference of the piece. I have tried but am not able to save the zoomed in view. I used to be able to do this but my hard drive on my computer was recently wiped and I do not remember what photo softwere I had that I was able to do that with. I will try to get some better zoomed in pictures but I have a crappy camera so do not know if it will work very well. Does anyone else have pictures of all these marked pieces on a 1906 AE that they could post for a comparison?
