What in the world! Plz help ID Luger part
 

I am building up a shooter and came across a couple of parts that I found odd.

First, what is this safety lever for?

I was trying to put it on and noticed it did not have a detent (wrong word) but pin to hold the safety lever? Its not broken, its just not there and the end is squared?

Then I went to put on a mag catch and it's BENT?

How does a mag safety get bent except on purpose??

The safety lever with the square end is for a grip safety Luger (1900-1906).

I would say that it is impossible to bend a magazine catch. Why it would be machined differently I have no idea. How about a few more photos of the catch. Is the checkered end of the catch round? Is it the same diameter as a standard catch?
