Ed, of course you are!

The police did not remove sear safeties but I have seen several examples (and own one) of sear safeties that were removed from police Lugers that almost certainly saw later military service. And I'm not talking about VoPo reworks. The fact that the sideplate was replaced along with a few other parts suggests this was done when the sear safety was removed.

That being said, there is very little about this hobby that can be stated with absolute certainty and it is certainly possible that Joe Sixpack could have removed the sear safety and replaced the sideplate, takedown lever, etc. late last year.
