Thanks for the quick replys. Yes there is an "x" there. See pic.

I checked another S/42 I have with the correct serial number on the barrel. It does NOT have that "x" mark. No sear safety on that one; it is a military gun.

Don't know what to make of that "x" mark.

Also attached pics of other markings on the police pistol barrel - Eagle 63 at 11:00 o'clock, Eagle over N on base of the front sight.
