My 'New' 1902 Fat Barrel AE

Norm,
The right grip is different between a 1900 and a 1906. The 1900 right grip has a wide rib that runs nearly the full length of the rear of the grip. It starts at the curved section at the bottom and runs up to within about 3/8" from the top. The 1906 has a short thin rib because of the change to a coil spring. It starts at the same place as a 1900 but only runs up as far as the web in the frame that supports the recoil lever assembly. So, a 1906 grip will work on a 1900 (or 1902) frame but a 1900 grip will not work on a 1906 frame.
Cheers,
Ron

P.S. Congrats on getting an '02. A landmark gun, and one that deserves to be in your collection.
