Jerry was wanting to know if the extractor was also donated by the 1908 Bulgarian. If it was, the marking would be in Cyrillic. I am sure it is not a replacement and I expected it to be marked GELADEN, since the toggle was marked as DWM rather than with the Bulgarian crest. The frame of your gun is Bulgarian, and I believe the receiver is also even though it has been scrubbed of its markings The barrel and toggle assembly have been replaced.
If the funds aren't too tight I hope you can pick this one up. It is just unique enough to be special and you can shoot it without being concerned with breaking a valuable matching part.
