M1906 Russian Luger - The Ending of its Identity

Albert,
First let me say that I am a complete novice compared to you, and I'm in over my head here. But I don't understand your reasoning. DWM DID send the Americans guns with "incorrect language", as I stated above... GESICHERT marked safety on early M1906 American Eagles. I only use this example because it has the AE crest on the chamber, made only for the American market. It is beleived by some collectors that DWM was using extra frames, as the remainder of the M1906 AE's went back to the polished safety area. If I understand you correctly, using your reasoning, it was a careless mistake for DWM to do this.
