My only Luger book ( so far) is 'Lugers at Random'. It has a paragraph on sear safety operation, but does not mention, outside of on some military and police, what pistols it was used on. Was this more of a 'add-on' during a rework, or were some models such as the "1934 Mauser German Contract"( Kenyon's term page 282) Banner made with the Sear Safety factory installed when new as stated for Police use? In a review of this book, I did not notice any other Luger pictured with a sear safety. I take not to many Lugers had these. I am not a big fan of the way it looks, but it does give it a unique look to it.
Oh, as an aside, what I do find confusing, is about how Lugers are classified. Like this listing as a '1934 Mauser German Contract' when when these Lugers are only found dated 1939-1942. I take the '1934' is when Mauser started making 'new' Lugers for the military that the classification was made?
Thanks, Bill
