.

Generally...the "polished" safety area (of the thumb safety lever) was used on the M1900 Lugers...M1906 Lugers appear with both polished and "marked" indicators such as "Gesichert" and others in other languages...and the "marked" Geischert safety indicator predominates with the M1908 Luger...

But many exceptions abound...take for example...the Swiss Lugers...they stayed with the "polished" safety indicator all through their M1900's, their M1906's and their '24 Bern Lugers...only changing to a "S" indicator for their M1929 Bern Lugers.

It is not a "black & white" issue on when the change occured...
