Terry,
To clarify: the extractor is on the top of the breach block. It pivots back and forth like a seesaw via a small pin through the breach block and it does have a coil spring in the back. (If you did not remove and clean this before it should be cleaned).
The ejector is a one-piece spring attached to the side of the receiver. The front end of it, the "hook" as described by David above, rests in a groove cut into the side of the breech block.
Both parts are prone to breakage. "Lugerdoc" on this forum is likely to have replacements. Original replacement parts are desirable and worth the expense. The aftermarket parts don't work very well and typically require fussing with. In my opinion, depending on the terms of the sale, if the gun was sold to you with a broken part you should attempt to resolve the matter with the seller.
