The 1906 M2 Royal Army Lugers made by DWM have the polished safety area. Approximately 5000 of the M2 Lugers were authorized for purchase shortly after Manuel II assumed the throne after his father was assassinated. The 1935 GNR(Guardia Nationale Republicana - republican national guard after Portugal became a republic) is a 1906 pattern Luger with grip safety made by Mauser, and has the Mauser banner toggle as well as the GNR monogram over the chamber. This Luger has the SEGURANCA marking in the safety area. Only 564 GNR Lugers were delivered according to Portuguese records.
