Don, how many police guns have you seen without sear or mag safeties.

It is a blank looking sideplate with a police sear safety cut out? although it might be numbered underneath in the commercial style. How many people would have a replacement sideplate (no numbers) and cut out for a sear safety. Not many unless it was laying around.

The condition issues of this luger makes it a $600-$750 dollar gun in my opinion, its just interesting that it has these markings. HZA... it was in a depot repair at some point. They might have used a sideplate laying around or it might be an addition by Bob Smith in Oklahoma 6 years ago when the sideplate was missing or damaged.
