    Since your hammer pin is in backward (should go in from left side to right)
    I'd pull the hammer, spring and hammer strut.

    If you then see the hole shaped like the one I pictured (the hole where you'll see the side of the safety in) you know you have a WRA TH.
    It sure looks like one to me.

    Next question would be:

    Having rear bevels and narrow rear mag wall but no front bevel.................
    Would this be a late Type I (with NO Front bevel )?

    Or:

    Is it a EARLY Type II with rear bevel , No front bevel, BUT still has narrow rear magwall?

    Moved too much snow today and don't have the energy left to dig out the books needed to answer.
    But hopefully Newscotlander or BQ will chime in and help out.

    Great buy!

    Cheers,

    P.S.
    You're hammer shows hits from both the straight hammer and a Dogleg:

    Charlie, got around to taking another photo with parts removed. I took the trigger out after the photo and By the way, remind me to never do that again without having a trigger install tool I don't have one anymore and it took me a lot of effort to get the trigger spring back in. At least now I know the trigger and sear are both RIA.

    You can use the front end of a ball point pen.
