1900 AE opinions

Hi Doug,

Because of the "dished" toggle knobs, this is a M1900 AE and not a M1906 AE.

The photos may have bad glare and all, but it appears to be a refinished gun. The strawed parts look awfully glossy...especially the extractor...

I would ask for better photos...especially of the "polished" area under the thumb safety lever (it should be white, well formed and slightly relief cut around the white shape), the stampings on the front of the frame, and the barrel markings. Ask the serial number and if "Germany" appears anywhere on the pistol.

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
