Hi Bill, Good question. Early Navy Lugers, like the one shown, were "safe" with the lever in the up position. It was found that these guns were prone to go off "safe" when they were thrust into their holsters. Most of these guns were altered to be on "safe" in the down position, as were all Army Lugers. Regards, Norm
