Default Inside the Slide of the 40VE

Can someone post a closeup picture of the inside of their slide towards the end where the rear sight is? I found a couple of metal shavings there and want to make sure that everything still looks like it is supposed to. I could not find one anywhere online and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Char

Found this picture on my photobucket. I think I used this to talk Leejack into buying a Sigma.

Let us know if you know if you find what it's from.

Is the pistol new? Maybe just wearing in?

I found it right about where the arrow on the slide is in the above picture. I cleaned the gun before I used it also, so it wasn't there before I shot it.
Oddly, on the next to the last mag that I shot, I actually had a piece of a metal shaving stick into my trigger finger and had no idea where it came from.
Looking at the picture, everything seems to be intact.
Oh yeah, the pistol is new, and that was the first range trip with it.

In the picture of the slide, the arrow is pointing at the striker assembly. The only metal that would come from there would be pieces of the striker spring. If that happened the firing pin would not hit primer, gun would not be able to fire.

Looking back it is a little forward of that. I will post a picture of exactly where I found it when I get home from work.
