Hi,
Yes it has toggle lock. It has the flat spring extractor. 4 digit serial number and all matching parts to last 2 digits. Unmarked wood based mag. Thanks for asking

Like this one. (This one is a 5 digit gun, 15,000 range).

Mine looks like that. My gun's 4 digit serial number is in the 8000 range. Ron Wood told me that early 1900's had 4 digit starting at 2100. DMW didn't start 5 digit serial numbers till later. I double check. the date he gave me.

Five digit serial numbers began with the 1902 Model these were 9mm, mine is 30cal.
That was incorrect, there were 5 digit serial number in the 1900 Model

The pistol in the photos is a 30 cal, with a 5 digit number. (Not uncommon, as a 5 digit serial number would indicate). A 1900 American Eagle it is, just slightly later production. 1902's were, indeed, 9mm. Just had a cherry fat barrel 9mm in my hands a couple of weeks ago. You could, of course, take some photos and post them.
