Very unusual to have a broken ejector hammer “leg” on an original Parker. Parker Bros. Learned very early on during the Lifter era that a radius cut is far stronger than a ninety-degree angle on high stress parts so the leg on the ejectors was also radiused while the hammers on the Parker Reproductions were at a perfect 90 and they can be prone to breaking.
