I think Vlim is referring to the rocker coupling, which can be installed backwards and won't allow the pistol to be disassembled or shot without some serious tomfoolery...J. B. Wood came up with a tool to unlock the mainspring without drilling a hole, but the hole in this one isn't in the same place that "old timers" drilled them...
And Germany never officially adopted the M1896...
