Mauser banner front toggle links

[1994Stoeger]

Hi all:

Yet another question from the peanut gallery:

1. When (what years) was the Mauser banner front toggle link used?

2. Under what circumstances was it used versus the other Mauser toggle links? Was it used for non-military (e.g., commercial/civilian or police) or would it have also made it onto military production?

Thanks in advance.
