The rest of the gun seems pretty unused--wonder why it needed a new extractor?
I have the paperwork from my uncle when he brought this back from Germany in 1966. Must have been a refurbished discounted pistol.

If you have the paper work, it is of course "collectible", especially to you since it belonged to your Uncle. It would be to me for sure.
A pistol brought back in 1966, would likely be a "PX" or "shooting club" pistol, bought by a GI on the civilian market and brought home.
It has non standard grips also, and is perhaps partially refinished; so without the paperwork, it would be closer to a shooter pistol than collectible.
Enjoy it.
JMHO.
