Extractor - 1937 S/42

I would never shoot an all matching collectable pistol, but that is just me...

The extractor is one of the parts known for more frequent failure.

It also looks like there are some chips off of the tip of your firing pin.

Finally, I've never seen the bottom of the breech block drilled out that way. I suppose it is in an effort to prevent blown out primers from doing damage, but I'm not sure of what other impact that would have on the firing cycle.

The extractor is a precision shaped part. It's likely that the broken area will expand with usage.
