John, I was searching micro welding and subsequently re-visited this thread.

The back side of the end of an Erma Luger-styled pistol's safety lever has a ball bearing and a spring set into well for them. The bb pops into the detentes and the spring holds the lever in position. This is found on the Zamak models made in the 60s and also the later KGP(X) models. This setup is different from the P.08, which has the nub.
