Tragedy strikes my new Erfurt.......

In the course of examining my newly purchased 1918 Erfurt #6423m, I noticed a large amount of wheel bearing grease in and around the breech block. I tooth brushed this area w/Hoppes #9. When I went to clean the blackish mess off the firing pin, I found out why it was there............Camouflage.........the firing pin lug had been broken off and silver soldered back poorly............Is there anyone in the whole wide world who can fix this properly now?????????? Are there any #23 Erfurt firing pins out there (or a parts condition gun for that matter?????). Unmarked Erfurt finish firing pin??????? How about Erfurt proofed grip screws in nice condition?????? I have a request in to Tom Heller but am rushing ahead just in case............
