That's a very nice score! I'm always on the lookout for nice Nambus, and it seems like you got the gun cheap and the holster for free. I just paid $660 for a minty 1945 "last ditch" T14, and I thought I got a pretty good deal on it.

I can vouch for Schlickmann's products, they are top notch. The firing pin should definitely be replaced before shooting, original Nambu firing pins are rare as hen's teeth and break easily. They are so fragile that the pistols even came with a spare pin, and the holster has a pocket just for this.

I would leave the extractor alone though, like some manuals say: "More extractors are broken during removal than in actual use". I have removed many extractors of this "snap in" type, haven't broken one yet (knock on wood) but you need to know what you're doing and it can be a pretty nerve racking procedure. Test fit some shells before you shoot, if they fit well under the extractor hook you're good to go.
