Take Down Lever rotates during firing

I removed the Take Down Lever and is not the same as my other Lugers Instead of the spring there is a detent ball and spring pressed into the Lever and a depression in the Frame to hold the lever in place (see the pictures) I think this is not as good as the original design. There was some gunky black grease under the Lever which I have now cleaned up (I don't normally remove the Take Down Lever or the Trigger when I clean my Lugars) Should I?
I hope that the cleaning will take care of the problem but I don’t like this design compared to my two other Lugers (The depression in the Frame is not very deep and it seems that the edge of the depression is beginning to round off from the ball pushing over it and the Ball may be harder than the frame)
I will shoot it again later this week.
