No date on chamber?
The left toggle is riding heavy on the ear during recoil, it shouldn't be that shinny. So maybe worn pins.

It is possible you have a mixed parts gun.

What is it your after? Your pictures are not all that close or clear.

Vern,
This is a pistol that was for sale and I needed someone (like your self) to take a look for any obvious problems or potential ones.

Thank you very much for your help,

What is the red color in the right side frame ear? Lighting or actual bluing color? if the color is on the bluing, it is not right, also the red spot on the left side in the safety detents is not right either. Is the safety marking painted in or blued. If the inside of the mag well in the white steel or blued steel, inside the receiver forks should be in the white if pre 1937 work. Is the sear pin on the sear safety bar, the little rivet that holds the sear safety on, in the white or blued.

Looks like an early '08 commercial receiver with BU proofs.
