PX stands for Post Exchange. These were stores set up for the use of Military Personnel where they could buy a variety of goods.
The extractor is part of the bolt assembly. The part that contains the firing pin. You will see a piece that has a hooked type front. If you carefully lift the hooked end, there should be a word stamped on the side of the extractor.
The proofs on what appears to be part of the toggle train are not Krieghoff,. Probably from the DWM era. But this is consistent with the guns assembled from whatever parts were left floating around. To be expected.
The best description for these guns: " Krieghoff Post War GI Parts Guns" in excellent condition. And, of course mention of the plating and the side frame inscription and the custom carved grip panels.
Valuation is difficult. Maybe in the $3500 to $5000 range. Maybe a bit more if a buyer interested in GI guns is found. But others on this board who are dealers can certainly comment better than I. But, as I said earlier, these are not nearly as valuable as a righteous Krieghoff that was issued to the Luftwaffe.
Hope this helps.
