Nylon follower? Plastic wasn't even invented in 1907. Most of the original mags were two toned. Blued at the bottom and case hardened at the top. Although some were not, most were. Get an original clip if this is not original. Yes you will pay through the azz for it but worth every penny. Just from looking at the pics I can tell it's not original as it does not fit properly in the well. I know these guns well. You will want an 08 in .380 next. They are absolutely with out a doubt my favorite pistols. If you decide to blue it I will not blue the trigger or the safety as they are still in the original nitre blue (peacock) and that is really cool. This one would be worth the extra time and expense to slow rust blue to get it back to the original colors. A lot more work on my end but really worth the effort. It would be more of a dark charcoal gray rather than the deep black we just did to the 51. With the metal in that good condition it will be less filing and finishing. Just my .02
