Police Luger is right. The exctractor, if in fact, a genuine Russian extractor, may be worth almost as much as you paid fo the gun.
I agree with PL, the gun should be safe to shoot. I have had several Lugers that would "pause" if brought to the "cocked" position... sometimes if lubricated properly, they will stop doing this, but you will never see this happen during firing... only when slowly manually cocking it.
The gun is definitely a mix-master parts gun. If you post photos of the individual parts that show any stamps on them some members may be able to identify their individual pedigree.
The black plastic grips, may in fact be bakelite, (or they could be just black plastic reproductions), but if genuine bakelite and in good condition, they could be worth as much as 20% of what you paid...
We shall wait for the photos. The photo tutorial is at the top of the Site Help and Feedback forum.
Welcome to the Lugerforum.
