Correction on hold open device serial # - I thought the hold open device was only the triangle thing on the inside of the receiver that holds the toggle open, coupled with the strawed bar attached to it on the right outside of the receiver. After fooling with the clip this morning, I noticed that all or part of the hold open device is built into the lower frame and does have a nonmatching serial #24:

See photos below. I apologize for error in my response above. I'm still a Rookie! I'm going to have to study my parts and names and expected serial locations for each part.

Also take a look at that nasty chip on the holdopen. The collector/shooter index on this gun is dropping fast! Fortunately I didn't pay a lot for the gun, though you guys ought to bill me for this education!

btw: I also noticed the wood bottomed clip I swapped out to this gun is full of grease. Sorry 'bout that. Gotta clean that up.
