Default Magazine safety?

Is this an intact magazine safety in the pic for this auction?

It looks complete but it would have been nice to see other angles of it.

I have no idea what it is, but it isn't a magazine safety. It looks like the trigger is a Swiss wide trigger.

Not a mag safety, I have a cut one upstairs if you want me to take some pictures of it tomorrow.

Not a Luger part I recognize, maybe a part made that they guessed what they thought it was?

+1, not a pistol part that I recognize either!

How much of the mag safety is there "upstairs"?
Perhaps a picture would be nice.

Here is an illustration that I am pretty sure came from one of Gerard Henrotin's great e-books (H&L Publishing).

The items shown are both mag safeties, but I doubt that either are original. I have yet to see a luger that still had the original mag safety installed, but have seen several styles of repaired originals and new repros. TH
