I think the first Portugese purchase was at the end of 1903, (about 100 test guns) but the first real official delivery was dated in mid 1910 of about 5K "New Model" pistols 12 cm long barrel 7,65 Para gauge with "Seguranca" and "Caregada" inscripions under the safety and on the extractor.

M2s don't have "seguranca" only the bare metal contour of the safety lever. They only have the "carregada" inscription.

It's the 1934 GNR pistols that have both "carregada" and "seguranca".
