I'd be happy enough with it, too. It's a family heirloom, most of all There are worse ways, as mentioned, a pistol can have its value as a collectible diminished. Since it's virtually impossible to tell when and by whom the extractor came to be installed, all we're left with is conjecture. There are varying degrees of "not all matching," from Frankenluger/mix-master to "almost matching," like this one... but only one state that we'd call "all matching" !

This pistol has not been cleaned for quite some time.
Looks like the whole firing pin assembly was changed out.
My “guess” it was faster to change the hole firing pin assembly
Then the extractor. Reason I say this, I do believe this pistol has not been touched sense 1945 or before. To me l love it the way it is.
But I will be combing the internet for years to come looking for a #85 firing pin assembly. LOL.
Ps. love all the info on this site I’ll catch myself reading for hours.
