Thanks, John. That confirms the date, I had been assuming it was a 1942 manufacture.
It's a mismatch no matter how you slice it, it has a 5 inch 7.65 mm barrel and the extractor has a mismatched number. The heck of it is the magazine has a matching number, which I am given to understand is not all that common. There are a couple of other points that don't quite jibe. On the other hand it's my favorite shooter, I like the 5 inch barrel.
