History of Police Safety Sear Installation

[Don M]

Ed, I have not specifically looked for any evidence of rebluing of either the slot or the hole for the mag safety but am going on recalled appearance and logic. It might be a good topic for someone to research. I agree about the need for a touch up if the slot was welded or brazed closed.

I think jags has parts of two different police Lugers. Like you, I think it very unlikely that they were put together by a police arsenal without force matching the serial numbers. It would be interesting to know if the brad on the sear safety of jags' Luger is blued. If so, the bluing of the upper happened sometime after the safety was installed.
