1906 American Eagle 9mm 98% Near Mint!

CJS57 · 10-18-2012, 10:45 PM

So I am picking it up Saturday. I have seen it and it is stunning, and no it is not refinished. Pictures asap I have it in hand. Here is the question: It is about the Magazine. Gun is serial 45, xxx and BUG proofed. Magazine bottom is unmarked, no 9mm. My question is when did they stop putting the 9mm script on the bottom?

I thought 'Cal.9mm' mags were first used with 1902 fat barrels, so would be correct for all 1906 9mm's.

Thanks Ed, But just to be clear, my question is: Did All 1906 AE 9mm's always come from the factory with "9mm" Script wood bottoms? Or did some guns come with plain wood bottoms?
