Karl,
English, especially technical, is not so easy for foreigners... and "broken" in Pat's comment is a bit excessive. Neutralization, although destructive, is not a furious and stupid mutilation. It's a little consolation, as we have to pay for it!
Modifications are not visible from exterior. If it was intact before the operation, the ejector is kept intact, as it's not a vital part, in accordance with your comment.
But for example, the claw (?) of the extractor is grinded. It's a hidden modification.
You're right... neutralization is sad, particularly on nearly 100 years old weapons, but it's the law. As a rule, I wouldn't buy a firing weapon that i have to neutralize, but only already neutralized ones, leaving intact P08 to licensed shooters.
Nevertheless, with these laws, intact P08 becomes more and more rare in EU. So, overseas, keep these old "Lulu" in cracking form!
The broken left grip is a point more for the negociation with the seller... you have a trained eye! I've written to the seller, wait and see
