Dutch KOL sear bar

I'm looking for a Dutch KOL/1928 contract sear bar, see http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=14690

It's basically the 1906-type grip safety sear bar.
Even postwar Mauser ones may work

A small update: I tested the postwar Mauser scenario and swapped the sears of my Dutch KOL and the 1972 Mauser. Fits perfectly.

Any sear bar will work, I do have one I can use. I'm trying for authenticity--see the picture in my Wanted Forum posting.

Gerben, is the sear bar you picture above the one with the GS mark? It appears to be faced off differently from a standard 1906 sear bar.

Dwight,
I think the nuance of difference in what you are looking for that isn't being picked up on is the fact that the KOL sear bar has the post 1916 relief. The M11 and Vickers have the standard grip-safety sear, but a KOL has a sear bar that permits unloading with the safety on. As you have shown in your want ad, it takes a relieved sear bar to be authentic.

Dwight,

The bottom one is the GS-marked one, and thus suitable for any Dutch luger. It appears they never bothered reproducing the 1928 KOL effect while producing spares.

Ron,

Quite so, and not just relieved, but at a reverse of the angle of the relief of a P-08, to match the reverse angle of the grip-safety style sear bar. The KOL/1928 Dutch contract seems to be quite unique in this respect.

and Pat,

This is for a Luger for shooting, so as long as it functions the style is not really important--I simply want to be as authentic as possible. I think I would rather go without the proper sear bar, than fake it.
