Eric,

The notch in the side is where the magazine safety was anchored before it was removed.

How common is it? I never saw one before!!

It is fairly common, I believe about 1/4 to 1/3 of police guns received the mag safety.

You find them with mag and sear safeties, but you never find them with a mag safety and NO sear safety.

Eric,
The S# is 1940t (not 'L'). It is a 29 DWM. Lots of info about this variation in Jan Still's Weimar Lugers.
