We can tell you're not a stupid person, so your cover is blown. Really, it's merely a matter of education and experience. Hard to spot something missing if you never knew it could exist...

Before you know it, you'll be changing main springs, extractors, and ejectors along with the best of them, able to completely dis/reassemble a Luger--and able to identify any part by looking at it.
