Grip safety changeover

From the beginning of production until at least sn 9855 grip safety levers are narrow, that is, extend across only half the width of the rear grip strap. Starting around sn 10010 grip safety levers extend across the full width of the grip strap, and remains that way throughout DWM grip safety Luger production. There are four sporadic examples of wide grip safeties earlier than sn 9855, which may be viewed with suspicion.

The grip safety data satisfies my curiosity about the changeover and demonstrates that, indeed, 1902 Fat Barrel grip safeties are properly wide.
