    Yes, safety is either an original with an extra bit of steel added, or an outright replacement.

    Mine starts with 77C so 1977. As far as I could tell from a short check on the link provided earlier.

    Thanks, that's good to know. Mine is an ex-Austrian police issue model (picture doesn't seem to embed):

    Strange for me at least, but every time I see a pic of 1 it seems to trigger the I want button. Shot them, drooled them, just never got one.
    But fine hand guns at the end of the day.
