I have an idential gun also in 38-40.Looked about the same when I got it so I took it all apart cleaned and oiled it and headed off to the range.I had the same problem and it had me fustrated for some time.When I put it back together I reversed the left and right ejecters
The two ejecters(the long bar held by one screw on the side of the reciever) look similar but they are not interchangable.Remove the screw and change sides.The screw driver scratches tells me that Grandpa had them out before.Swap them and get some fired brass and see if it solves the problem. If not put them back where they were.
