Very interesting. I have seen other pictures of 39 no-dash pistols with that strange line on the extractor and always assumed it was broken or cracked. By that time in the production the slide serrations had moved forward as well.
Did those late 39 no-dash examples have the newer 5 land barrel rifling?
