I bet it also has a sear safety and / or magazine safety; here is one I had for sale a bit ago; http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=16476

I will have to look up the police unit meaning tonight if no one answers you,

Ed

Cory,
Don is a lot smarter than me but his typing isn't much better than mine. The district is Wiesbaden (not Wiedbaden).
