1942 Banner police

gunbugs,
All 1941 and most 1942 Banner Police lugers have numbered Type 3 magazines with the pinned base. Late production run 1942 Banners had Type 4 plastic base magazines like their BYF 42 Army counterparts. Most, if not all, 1942 Banners were Eagle L proofed and many of the later production run 1942s were drilled for a sear safety, but it was not installed. Yours in that regard is unusual, as it is a fairly late 1942 and has an intact sear safety.
All 1942 Police Banners were of the y suffix and there were about 5,500 made that year.
