I'm guessing Rons' point about the toggle knobs might involve those flats....looking at my 1900, there is only a bare hint of one on the lock side, on the other side, the scallop cuts all the way into touching the serrations.

Pepe,

Eu sou brasileiro e posso lhe ajudar.
A pistola foi restaurada, com algumas modificações que lhe retiram o valor como item de coleção para os mais puristas. Seria, portanto, uma "shooter" e não valeria os mil dólares pedidos.

Contudo, é preciso ver que a maioria dos membros deste fórum se baseiam em critérios que nem sempre são universais. As vezes as particularidades de determinados "mercados" faz com certas regras sejam deixadas de lado a fim de possibilitar que alguém monte uma coleção. É o que acontece na Inglaterra, por exemplo, onde as armas são obrigatoriamente desativadas - assim, eles precisam montar suas coleções admitindo essa limitação que, em outros lugares (como nos Estados Unidos) acaba condenando a peça.

Eu não sei qual a realidade do mercado português, mas pense nisso.

Boa sorte!

Douglas
