NonComRetired... I mixed up the two pistols posted onto this thread. Deleted my prior posting... On second look, the other pistol has probably has an Erfurt side plate...

Your pistol has both the sear safety and the magazine safety. That is unusual to find. Most of the magazine safeties were removed. Yours looks to be in very good condition except for the chip from the grip, which is a large one.

Get in touch with Hugh Clark. He has the skill to repair grips like this.

The breech block replacement would have been after 1933 to get that proof eagle. Is the firing pin fluted? If so, it was replaced with a later part.

Is the chip not a cut out to accommodate the mag safety?

With what you see, no reissue army marks, would it have been a police issue from end WWI to end of WWII, do you think and then proofed for the nazi period. There is no police unit markings but it still has the WWI MG unit markings on the grip strap.

I haven't broke it down yet to check the firing pin.

If the magazine safety was intact, I think it would add to the collector value of this police Luger...To someone who collects Police Lugers...

Does it actually extend behind the trigger??? I can't quite tell from the pic...Many were 'deactivated' by simply cutting off the tang that extended behind the trigger...Leaving the useless pieces in place...
