Hi,

The prewar ejectors were of excellent condition and not cast in any way. The problem with the ejector configuration is that a lot of stress is placed onto that little tip, both while the gun is in use and when it isn't.

Failure of this part is just a matter of time. I've had modern repros fail after a few hundred shots, so I'm sticking to pre-1945 ones, or the later Mauser Parabellum ones.
