When would this have happened? I have just looked under bright lights from the inside through the back side with the grips off and you can see it was welded up. So it did have a functional mag safety the finish looks original and has patina and you can not tell the weld is there from the outside!! I was wrong and am sorry. Can anyone shed light on the weld and reblue? It must have been done back in the 30's maybe when it went in to WWII?
Could they have taken off the sear safety too at that time? I have read on another forum that VOPO off both safeties off when they reworked a Luger. The grips are period but are stamped 21 (wrong serial number) and they are not broken under the safety (MILLION dollar break)
