New to me 1917 DWM

The toggle-s-link, trigger transfer bar, and inside of the breech block are all in the white.
I noticed the sear bar wear that you mentioned; I attributed the whiter finish on the top to the bar riding up and down in the frame over the years and the corrosion on the bottom due to the bar being in such close proximity to the wood grips for 100 years.
After having it in my hand and inspecting it very closely for several days I am convinced it is an original.
If anyone in Kansas City area wants to see it in person just let me know!

Best,
-Miles
