I recently made my first post concerning a 30 Caliber Luger, magazines, and a holster. I have confirmed that the "Hold-Open Latch" is original (S/N "39" marked), but is missing the tab (broken off from rest of latch part) that is positioned over the magazine top. I am posting-up a photo showing the part.

My current questions are:
(1) Can someone confirm that gun is operational without the Hold-Open Latch?; and
(2) Does anyone have a Hold-Open Latch with the "39" marking? If so, can you contact me to let me know what the cost would be and the process for ordering it?

As mentioned in my initial posting, I am researching this gun for a friend and would like to let her know about possibility of replacing the Hold-Open Latch (cost). If price is reasonable, I would recommend to her that she buy the part. Your help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!
