The chip I was talking about is in the area at the top rear of the left grip near the gold safety lever that is broken off, exposing the base of the safety lever.

I see a 1915 DWM army luger that later received a mag and sear safety; this would have been after 1933 to around 1936 and not all police guns received the mag safety.

In 1937 it was decided that mag safeties were not working out and were deactivated, some were cut like yours, some were totally removed. The grips on many guns will show a 'chipped' area there, that is correct (I will have to look and see where yours is chipped)

Took the grips off, they are marked also #11. The mag safety from what I can see is still very much there, plunger spring and the release. The chip area look like a clean cut and not a break. I'm not expert of Lugers, I said this is my first one, so I'm virgin to knowledge of what I read only and then things are not always clear.
