The extractor is probably the biggest wear part on Hi Powers ... I don't think there is a current source for the pre'64 internal type extractor.
Internal extractor Hi Powers are beautiful collector's pieces, but until someone regularly stocks replacement internal extractors, they are basically safe queens.
You can often get a Hungarian made FEG Mauser or Luger branded Hi Power clone for closer to $300. Be careful with the FEG branded "Hi Powers" some are hybrid S&W action and not really Hi Power clones at all ... even though sellers often describe them as such. Visual clues for the real HP type clone are the cross bar in the frame behind & above the trigger; for the S&W action: firing pin type safety ON THE SLIDE (real HP safety is on the frame, like a 1911).
The one OldCarJunkie bought was an Argus?... if I remember correctly
IMO, only worthwhile for collectible.
If you are shooting it, a later one would be better.
