I see a 1915 DWM army luger that later received a mag and sear safety; this would have been after 1933 to around 1936 and not all police guns received the mag safety.

In 1937 it was decided that mag safeties were not working out and were deactivated, some were cut like yours, some were totally removed. The grips on many guns will show a 'chipped' area there, that is correct (I will have to look and see where yours is chipped)
