History of Police Safety Sear Installation

Don,

Thanks once again!! So as you already had figured out the old police guns were turned in when the new 1929's where issued and most of the police units recieved all new 1929's. The old guns were reworked and then were reissued to other less fortunate police forces. Makes total sense to me!

I flipped my photo around and yes the mark on the rear toggle of my luger (above) definately looks like the */D as seen on jcoe's post on that other forum (below). As I mentioned before it looks like my pistol is made up of 2 halves of two reworked and reissued police Lugers! Big mystery on how something like that could have happened!

My story will be that 2 German police officers were cleaning their guns when an urgent call came in. In their haste they accidentally grabbed the wrong barrel/receivers and reassembled their pistols. The pistols remained that way ever since!

Thanks again!!
