1900 AE Heavy Wear Marks?

The hook/grabber thingie Rich made is brass, so other than imparting a little bit of its material to the surface of the toggle, it can't do any damage. One can gently remove the smeared on brass with oiled 0000 steel wool.

I think the angle of pulling the measuring device relative to the pistol frame may be important for trading data back and forth. With the same pistol, same angle, but different springs, you'd get a data set which would enable you to compare the different springs. If we standardize the angle at which the pistol is mounted in addition to the angle relative pulling is done, then I think we can swap info. This is a vector force, and although I haven't worked it out specifically, I believe the angularity must be duplicated to bring individual pistols' measurements into line with the rest.

Since I don't have the 1900, I don't know, but is it possible to install a later coil spring and guide temporarily for shooting?
