1916 Erfurt "Failure to ****"

Thanks again, guys, for your advice and assistance. I am in NNJ. Sorry I didn't answer back yesterday, but was actually playing Match Director for a monthly Rimfire Match at our range all day. So the consensus seems to agree that the Breech Block is an issue and it may also make sense to replace the Trigger Bar as well. Guess that's not too bad to get this thing working properly. Now my next question...Looking at the parts list from Numrich, they offer two different Breech Blocks. An "original" listed at 90.80 and a "replacement" listed at 94.55. Even though the prices are close, why would a replacement cost more than an original? Wouldn't an original always be preferable? Why would I want a replacement over an original? Since there are other non-matching parts already on this gun and it appears to have been re-blued at some time, I don't know that the value would be affected either way, would it? C.
