Don, I am not trying to be difficult, but it is from TWO DIFFERENT GUNS ...


You can't say for sure what or why the sear safety was removed.

If one of the owners did not have the sideplate and it had a sear safety, you could see the owner taking the sear safety off, otherwise it would be all wonky.


Patrick , mismatched guns are good guesses but hard to say for sure?

Ed, of course you are!

The police did not remove sear safeties but I have seen several examples (and own one) of sear safeties that were removed from police Lugers that almost certainly saw later military service. And I'm not talking about VoPo reworks. The fact that the sideplate was replaced along with a few other parts suggests this was done when the sear safety was removed.

That being said, there is very little about this hobby that can be stated with absolute certainty and it is certainly possible that Joe Sixpack could have removed the sear safety and replaced the sideplate, takedown lever, etc. late last year.
