I heard that Mauser lost their equipments and bought Swiss machinary in 1960s. So German of new era carries a Swiss appearance. The grip safety was not Swiss invention, old DWM had grip safety as well. What unique to Swiss pattern are the ugly triangle-like grip and over-simplified thumb safety level, etc. There are small amount of Interarms having conventional German style grip but those also demands more money on the market.
