Sear Safety question and classification?

Hi Chief,

Some of Kenyon's terminology can be confusing, as it is not now in general usage. But you can think of a 1934 model as Mauser made. The 'Old Guys' will corrrect me if I'm wrong.

The sear safety was strictly a police item. Can't find the reference right now, but I think it was a directive from a Prussian Agency. So some early lugers were retroed. Then it became standard for all police lugers. Except some of the 41 and 42 Banners were drilled for it, but not installed. I guess the cops kept shooting themselves in the foot. It could be on any model/year that was going to the police. Most often seen on the Mauser Banner Police. All of which are listed under 'commercial'. They may have been installed after the factory???

AH! Found some of it. See New Collectors, FAQ #29
