1911 new pics to judge hold-open +

Got it apart, took pictures of inside frame.
Was surprised to see the dull silver finish. I suppose that is what the plating is before any polishing.
Anyway, it appears that there is no provision for a hold-open feature. Do you agree?
Also, I discovered a bunch of new stampings. Do any of them appear to have any significance?
Again, I really appreciate all the help you folks have given me. Hope I haven't bored you with too many details of this piece. Is a treasure to me.
Am interested in your input.
Regards
Reed
