Patrick,
I agree with Pete: the ejector is broken. This is not a big deal, Tom Heller on the forum can probably provide a replacement, and it is not a numbered part. There are also some non-standard markings on the right rear side of the frame, it looks like a mark over "AN" and a "W." I do not know what they mean. Perhaps another forum member can identify them. Photographs are no substitute for a "hands on" inspection, however, aside from the pitting on the grip strap the gun appears in the photos to be in nice condition with the original finish. There is also some pitting on the safety lever, which is common. If the gun has all matching numbers, including the grips, but not including the magazine, a price of around US $1,000. is about right in my opinion. I would note the pitting on the grips and safety and the broken ejector to seek a lower price.
What are the regulations in France regarding the ownership of firearms such as this? KFS
