Please check out the following thread for a detailed discussion of this gun.:

The hold open pin was a press fit (possibly hot pressed). There are several reasons it could have loosened.

It is unlikely that anyone would have retrofitted a pin unless the old pin was broken. If that is the case, this example is a clumsy repair.
