My point is that many police guns did not receive a sear safety, and although this one is likely not police, others did not receive a sear safety.

Ed, I was giving only one example in my reply above and agree that the Bavarian PwB and many Prussian police school P08s also did not receive sear safeties. The tables in HWIS Chapters 12 and 16 provide evidence of this. There may be other examples that don't come immediately to my mind.

I guess the point of all this is that the lack of a sear safety does not rule out police service and other evidence should be considered. Regarding the gun that is the topic of this thread, having ruled out the installation of a sear or mag safety, despite the replacement side plate, there is no other evidence to suggest police service.
