WAIT on removing the sideplate rivet! Later ones were removed by the East Germans - and I am sure some in the USA because of lost sideplates etc. Once off, that rivet is harder to replace than leaving it alone

Here is a 1939 - S/42 (Mauser) police

pictures show the gun with the original cut sideplate and then the next two show a non-cut sideplate and how it won't sit properly

Two pictures of original cut sideplate for police sear safety - note, further information is in the FAQ in New Collectors stickies
