I'd be happy enough with it, too. It's a family heirloom, most of all There are worse ways, as mentioned, a pistol can have its value as a collectible diminished. Since it's virtually impossible to tell when and by whom the extractor came to be installed, all we're left with is conjecture. There are varying degrees of "not all matching," from Frankenluger/mix-master to "almost matching," like this one... but only one state that we'd call "all matching" !
