Holster aficionados will want pics of the holster, too - showing any markings on the back, how straps (F&R) are attached, stitching, any obvious repairs, etc...You may need to go over the backside with a magnifying glass to pick up any faint stamping impressions...

As to the extractor...IMHO, any 'soft' part that may have broken in the past and replaced/repaired should not detract from the value of the piece...These are parts that could have been repaired/replaced by depot maintenance and should/could be considered as part of the history of the piece...Just MHO...
