I am wasting my time here. You must be aware of Swiss history and the Luger pistol or all this is lost. The Swiss made all modifications from German design for "specific"
reasons. They made many design changes. None of them enhanced the beauty of the pistol.Their intent was to improve function and ease manufacture. In this they were wildly successful. But to cavalierly state that this disc was placed there for either no reason at all or for "decorative" purposes denies the history of Swiss interest in the German Luger.
Lazy thinking for any of these spurious arguments. I expect a little more intuitive critical analysis from you guys.
Inserting this disc added considerable time, trouble and expense. Decorative? For no reason? These responses are not well thought out and on the wrong side of known history.

Jerry,
just because you don't like my answer does not mean it was not "well thought out".
I can think of no reasonable "reason" to put that metal disc in the
magazine pull.
It is strange and I have always thought it redundant and of no purpose.
Perhaps you can create a list of possibilities for its presence or use, I can't.
You are absolutely correct that it took extra time and expense.
If it had a significant , important use- why was it later eliminated from the Swiss magazines?
