Post filed off hold-open

I have a byf dated 42 Luger. It was taken from a prisoner in Koblenz, Germany. I bought it from the man who brought it home, and he assures me he never messed with it in any way. Yet somewhere along the line the hold-open was filed down where it meets the magazine, so that the pistol in effect, has no hold open. In Datigs book he mentions that in WWI the hold-open was not universally liked. Could this have also been the case in WW2, so that some men disbled the hold-open? Has anyone encountered anything similar to this?
