    Align with the slide stop and use your thumb to press it out.

    The newer ones are longer and perhaps they took gloved hands into consideration.

    MK1 BHP's have this cutout along with the internal extractor.

    You left the most important info out of your first pics, LOL.

    Thanks for the info, I promise to do better next time! :P~ I've managed to unearth some additional info:

    "Per Vanderlinden, page 345, LGK refers to Landesgendarmeriekommando - State Gendarmerie. The following two letters after LGK are for the province. Your holster looks like "NO" (the second letter is a bit smudged). If "NO" it refers to the province Niederosterreich (Lower Austria). According to Vanderlinden, in 1955 the LGK ordered about 10,000 High Powers. The pistols were marked with LGK".
