I did read about the rim difference. Some say that the tolerances will sometimes allow for the 357 rim. That will be determined when I have the pistol in hand. I will pick up a spare extractor to fit if needed and maybe a firing pin for shooting if the gun is matching numbers.

Definitely a firing pin, extractor if you want- this guy makes fine reproductions of each just email Mr. Schlickmann at:

People talk a lot about "weak" extractors- I've owned/own many T 14s and never had an extractor problem- though I have seen pictures of some. I believe this problem is related to springs and ammo more than the extractor. The metal in a T 14 is just fine for its intended purpose, but 70+ years of use/abuse can take a toll.
I would also strongly recommend installing new recoil and striker springs from Wolf.
Have fun with your Nambu, but do use only 8mm nambu ammo/cartridges- .40/.357sig brass is just too big in the wrong places. Turn the rim and extractor groove to do it right.
