Hello to the Group!

[/size]After the cessation of hostilities in Europe, my father confiscated pair of 7.65 Mauser pistols from a German army officer. (That is a good story in itself.) Dad gave me one of the pistols, with the original holster and extra magazine about 40 years ago. The weapon is in the 499000 series, but without the "humpback" grip. A "between the wars" model. I have kept the gun in my nightstand, and fired a few dozen rounds through it at the range periodically ever since. In all this time the gun has never had a failure of any kind, and has never failed to cleanly fire or eject a round. After around 95 years of use, including combat, the little Mauser finally broke a part. The Safety suddenly quit working the last time I fired it. I assume this is due to a broken Trigger Bar Spring. I ordered a new one from Numrich for $10 + shipping. Anyone ever used Numrich for replacement parts? How are they to deal with? Once I have the part, I will need to dismantle the gun further than I have ever yet done for typical cleaning, and may have some questions for the group at that point. Thanks!
