1914 Erfurt Police

Edward Tinker · 02-03-2003, 09:27 PM

Ron, I know have two Police Lugers and one has both, the other has a sear safety only. My 1914 DWM has both, while the (made in 1928) Alphabet DWM has just a sear safety. I talked to several collectors, and they said that if it has a mag safety, it will have a sear safety, but not neccessarily the other way around? There are some police Lugers without a sear or mag safety, as three of the Prussian states did not follow the directives till later, so some guns do not have them.

It is possible I misunderstood, but that is the impression I am under at this time.
