Serial number 143, which is in the British Royal Armouries collection, has the magazine catch on the rear of the magazine itself, but serial number 332 has the catch built into the grip frame. It is a checkered lever that one squeezes toward the front of the gun to release the magazine, similar to the one on the Model 1899 FN Browning. The magazine baseplate extends beyond the front of the grip frame to assist in removal.
Type I First Variant: The first variant has a magazine release like the one on the Model 1902 serial number 332, with a small checkered lever that must be squeezed toward the front of the gun (reminiscent of the Model 1899/1900 FN Browning). A concave area is milled at the rear of the frame base to allow the thumb to access the release lever. The magazine has seven holes on either side for viewing cartridges, and the cut on the back where the release holds it is approximately one inch from the magazine base. The baseplate on the magazine extends beyond the front of the grip frame to aid in removal, and the front of the grip frame is cut to allow for this extended baseplate. This first variant extends at least through serial number 1140.
The early guns, up to at least serial number 975, have a trigger guard that is machined separately, fitted into a slot at the front of the grip frame, and pinned to the frame above the bow of the trigger guard. The pin is visible just beneath the serial number on the left side. Later guns have the trigger guard integral with the frame.
Type I Second Variant: On the second variant, beginning somewhere around serial number 1200, the magazine release becomes a slightly concave serrated sliding button that is pushed to the rear to release the magazine. The magazine still has seven cartridge-viewing holes on either side, but the cut on the back where the release holds it is right where the baseplate meets the back of the magazine. The extended baseplate is eliminated and the magazine has a knob on the bottom to assist in removal. The second variant extends only to about serial number 1300, making it very scarce. It appears that this variant only lasted until existing frames were used up and production could be transitioned to the third variant.
Type I Third Variant: The third variant has the magazine release mounted on the back of the grip strap, as shown in the 1905 Belgian patent 184363. It consists of a pivoting lever, tensioned by a flat spring, with a square checkered button at the top. The magazine has the cut in the rear enlarged and moved up slightly from the magazine base. The base of the grip frame is no longer cut to allow for the baseplate extension at the front of the magazine. The third variant begins at least by serial number 1331 and runs only up to about serial number 1650, where Type I production ends.
The patent date for the magazine release on the back of the grip strap, 29 April 1905, enables us date the variants and get some idea of production numbers. Up to the end of April 1905 possibly only about 1500 Type I Model 1903 pistols had been made. Please contact us if you have a gun with a serial number in this range that might help us more precisely determine when the Type I ended and the Type II began.*
The early recoil spring extending only over the breech block and chamber of the barrel was insufficient. Powerful recoil forces acting on the light breech block/bolt necessitated a longer and more powerful recoil spring. The earliest gun of this type we have noted is serial number 1677. Judging by the serial numbers and patent date, this change likely took place before the end of 1905.
The $1000 Grade Lefever Arms Co. shotgun was the most expensive American shotgun offered until the advent of the Parker Invincible in 1929. The number produced is unknown with reports of up to four being produced according to Elliott. The serial number s of two known are in the 23xxx range which would put them in the realm of 1895. The serial number of the shown gun is 24,993. However, the grade was not listed in a catalog until about 1909.
The Optimus Grade was first introduced in the 1889 catalog with a price of $400. The earliest serial number known is 10253. The gun evolved over time with the amount of gold inlaying increasing in general over time. It was initially offered in 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20 gauges. The 14 gauge was eliminated by 1892. Examples of all other gauges are known.
