Looks like a 43 extractor on a 42 toggle arm

but at $525 would you take it as a shooter?

I question the all matching also. This model in normal configuration would have a strawed locking bolt, the one in the picture has a blued or fire blued one, and it dont look that good, a big bevel cut on the surface! $375 maybe for a shooter, $650? no way Jose! ~Thorster~

i blew the pic up, and the extractor is matching,,but something is way wrong with that take-down lever....

Yes, my previous comment on the locking bolt=take down lever

Whatever my humble opinion would be worth....it's TOO much money. I have similar, mismatched, a 'schlag' job "shooter", and no more. I paid $315.00 for mine, which was enough. My .02 Pfennig....

it falls in the Navy catagory, poor condition, but scarce,
