Mauser Banner Grip Safety Dated Questions?

Barry,

Calling this gun a "model" mischaracterises the term, and promotes an expectation of familiarity which, as you have noticed here, is not borne out by experience. This gun is one of those odd variations which crop up in the vastness of Luger variety: which exist in a handful of examples; whose characteristics are completely at odds with contemporaneous production; and for which there is no good explanation. We have come to see guns of this nature as "models" because Kenyon has deemed them so.

I'm anxious to see pictures. Please note that a c/N commercial proof is not proper for the variation Kenyon describes.
