Mauser Banner Grip Safety Dated Questions?

Mauser did manufacture some contract lugers with the grip safety, one of the most notable being the "GNR" Portuguese contract. I am not aware of any Mauser contract grip safety lugers dated 1941, so I doubt this luger is original if it is as you say. If you are able, photographs would be of great help. The only 9mm grip safety configuration is the DWM 1906 type, seen with DWM contracts, Vickers Dutch, but not with Mauser banners. One outside thought is a special Swiss contract gun, but again the 1941 date and lack of pictures make this only a wild unlikely guess.
