I know that 1916 was the first year for these safetys

Zamo,
The sear safety was added (reworked for police service) in the Weimar era after WWI, to just about any surplus Luger. Jan Still shows a 1902 Commercial and even a 1906 American Eagle with the sear safety added, on pages 231 and 232 of Weimar Lugers. There are newly manufactured Lugers put into police service, but they were made in the Weimar era.
The small parts should be strawed. Mauser started to blue these parts on S/42's mid 1937.
