Extractor?

Thank you mrerick - the extractor has now been extracted, cleaned, relubed, and reinstalled without incident. There was a fair amount of black crud in the channel, proving Goddess only knows when/if the last time it was cleaned. But after removing and cleaning the extractor/channel on my Nambu proved to be the cure of its fairly extreme stovepiping - I figured it would be best to PM the extractor on the Luger *before* it caused problems.

Now a quick question. The extractor is, of course, a blued part. The side where the "Geladen" text appears is in the white - like it was given a quick sanding/filing/buffing/whatever on that one side only to provide contrast for the text which remains blued.

Normal/usual? Or is it an artifact of fitment? Or both? It *is* the original extractor numbered to the gun.
