Model 52 Metal Missing
I can't believe I'm just now discovering this... There is a chunk missing from the top side of the slide's recoil spring housing that appears to be more the result of a bad casting (which would really surprise me) than some kind of failure or trauma. The pistol cycles fine and I don't remember ever hearing, seeing, or feeling anything catastrophic enough that would cause this. The metal in that area is extremely thin, so I 'm wondering what may have caused it and if anyone has seen or experienced anything similar with their 52.

Mine is similar. Nothing to worry about.

Hokey smokes, that's great to hear!
I am a bit surprised that these fine pistols left the barn like that, as I understand they were pretty much custom-made. On the other hand, if they were good enough for the maker to release, then I am okay with that.
