George is right. This pistol has no ledge on the lower receiver for the toggle latch to catch on. A 1906 lower??

I am confused. You guys are seeing something I can't. The catch for the toggle lock is mounted on the frame, not on the receiver, and when the action is closed you can't see the top of the catch because the lock covers it up. If you look carefully at the photo of the right side just below the toggle lock you can barely make out where the bottom of the catch is inlet into the frame. It is a 1900 frame.
