1921 Commerical Police !!

[Edward Tinker]

Lyn, the 8 being added to this time frame is odd, and then to have pictures of 2 others just like mine is very interesting indeed. The sear safety is a different issue, from talking to Jan and Bill, and his books, the reason appears to be that the sear safety wasn't required until August 30, 1933, and even then; it is assumed that it was national, when the regulation was for Prussian State Police. So it is very possible that many lugers were police lugers and do not have a sear or magazine safety.

Further, in Weimar Lugers, it states that there were many guns still in storage and issued during the war build up. And that is why you might see sear safety's and NO magazine safety, as the mag safety was elminated from police service in 1937 and thus "missed" being worked on.
