Hold Open Assembly

Guys,

My 1918 DWM Hold Open broke today. After only 5 shots the toggle opened as usual, put some rounds on the magazine but it never went to the front again.

Latter a friend dismounted the pistol and said that the Hold Open is broken...

Is this a common problem? He said that the HO has a blue color, like burned by heat, maybe because no oil in that part.

I use Geco 124 gr ammo, are they too strong and could they contribute to the problem?

Thanks
