Simon,
The sear safety is riveted to the frame above the sear. It prevents accidental discharge with the sideplate removed. See the Mauser Parabellum Hallock, van de Kant page 342.
Jan Still estimates ,1940 E/C pistols, 1130 procured. 1940 E/L 3300 procured. See Third Reich Lugers Vol.III by Still page146.
Cheers,
Jason
