Dan, I agree with Dr. Buster's comments above. The unnumber safety parts are correct for this model and the extractor appears to be original to me and if so, should have the last 2 digits of the serial (46) marked INSIDE. Tom

Being "INSIDE" does that mean I can not see the number without removing the extractor completely from the gun? Otherwise I do not see a number on the extractor at all whether propped up with a dummy round in the chamber or when I field strip the gun to view the hole below the front of the extractor for the firing pin to come out and strike the primer.

Also I can not find a number anywhere on the breechblock. Does that matter?

The "inside number" on the extractor does require the extractor to be removed to view it. The cross pin is pushed out and the extractor and extractor spring will be released.

Thanks for the information.

I will have to think long and hard if I want to do that. Having replaced the original front sight on another more modern handgun with a night sight, I know how easy it is to slip and leave a mark.
