P08 Trigger Lever Pin Broke - Help

[Hawk62]

Hi all, several months ago, I posted about my well worn, plexiglass handled Luger:

Thanks to many on this board, that Luger was transformed into a nice shooter. But today, it broke.

We were at the range (I think the 4th time since the gun was refurbished), shooting 115gr target loads as usual. After a shot, the action only came up a quarter of the way, and would not come up any further.

Brought it home, dis-assembled it and found that the trigger lever pin broke.

Is this common?

What causes this, just fatigue of a 75 year old gun?

Should I be concerned, or just replace it?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks.
