You wrote "Also, there was something marked beneath the satety's "safe" (lower) position. However, everything I've seen in the lugar ID guides says engraving is typically found only under the "fire" position. Whatever was there has been mostly stamped out by an oval impression. It looks like there were about 8 characters. The first one was an "O" or a "C" and the final two look like a "lb" or "1b"."

This would indicate that your frame was originally a 1908 Bulgarian contract. The cryillic word for fire was stamped under the safety's lower position on that model. The same crillic word was stamped on the 1900 Bulgarian, 1906 Bulgarian, and 1906 Russian but on all three it was stamped under the safety's upper position.
