This has to be a mistake

Easy mistake, Sometimes hard to fix without relisting. GB may yank it as well. (FWIW They may be getting strangely proactive of late and may even feature advanced listing error detection and auto bid rejection for some states and buyers)
 
IMG_20200828_230225.jpg I have that same type but with much better bluing. I should probably know this but is this a type II or type IV? Can't recall........ 1918 manufacture I believe....

Type 4 has the mag drop safety, iirc started in late '25 or early 26. Type 2 had a barrel bushing (like a 1911). Can't see that so I'm guessing early type 3 (I have a late type 3 from 25; the 1903s are a joy to carry and shoot!).
 
Want a C&R! 15 more years and the good stuff will be able to ship to door
That will cost you about 35 bucks and about an hour or two of your time; SUPER EASY to get one! Go to atf.gov and download/request the forms. Simply fill them out, send a copy to your local Chief of Police / Sheriff for their records, and send it off to ATF with a check! They'll send back your license and the books of laws/regs that you'll need to be familiar with. You can easily sign up for ATf's email update list for new info. Well worth the time & money!

WOW! I’m getting one, do you know how long they last?
 
thanks for the list!
Firearms become C&R eligible 50 years from their date of manufacture; "Firearms automatically attain C&R status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be listed in ATF's C&R list. Therefore, ATF does not generally list firearms in the C&R publication by virtue of their age." (boldface is original)

They're good for 3 years. But be aware that they aren't a magic pass. There is a list of what you can and can't purchase and it doesn't get updated all that often. Here's the latest that last was updated in 2018: https://www.atf.gov/file/128116/download
Firearms do not need to be included on the list to become C&R eligible; "Firearms automatically attain C&R status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be listed in ATF's C&R list.

So eventually all original and replica firearms become C&Rs (AKs, ARs, ect). Think Gov will have a field day or fit.
