French 1935a Loaded Chamber Indicator

In between world wars, the French adopted two pistol designs. The first of which is the 1935A. Chambered in 7.65x20mm French Long, it features a 1911 inspired action with two swinging barrel linkages. It also features a loaded chamber indicator, a small lever at the top of the slide that protrudes upwards if the chamber is loaded. At least that's how it's supposed to work. The indicator on my pistol is stuck, which causes to slide to not go fully into battery. I attempt to fix.
