Ron, I would also add, that if the gun is not cocked, the firing pin will not be able to move over the sear because the safety is on... giving exactly the symptoms that are being described about not being able to pull the toggle open...
I doubt there is a round in the chamber, because the extractor is flush with the breechblock in one of the photos. It would be "up" with the word "geladen" exposed if there were a round in the chamber.
It appears to me that there may already be a very minor grip chip in the left grip... but still be careful if you decide to remove the grip yourself.
PM sent back for coordination with the OP on a possible visit.
