Photographs needed: Vektor CP1 Pre-recall

Firstly, thanks to Spartan359 and Lanyard for the links in this thread:

http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ad.php?t=14408

I will be contributing material to those sites shortly.

To make this short: I have a Vektor CP1 9mmP pistol. These were subject to a recall from the manufacturer in the year 2000 (or thereabouts). Apparently there was a design fault where the weapon could discharge a chambered round if bumped or dropped.
I sent mine in and it was modified by Denel. Additional papers supplied by Denel were:

1) A certificate of Conformance
2) Addendum to owner's manual

Unfortunately I couldn't take photographs of the pistol before I sent it in, but I have taken photographs of the pistol recently on a visit to South Africa.

Does anybody here have a CP1 or know of somebody with a CP1 that has not been returned to the manufacturer for alterations? I would greatly appreciate photographs of the hammer, slide and trigger bar if these can be easily obtained. I will provide whatever images I have in return. I can provide PDFs of all the relevant manuals and paperwork too, if it is useful. I am also curious to see if there are any differences between CP1s sold in the US and those sold in SA (besides historical magazine capacity differences in some places).

Many thanks in advance.

Gents, I'm still looking for these photographs, on multiple boards.

Some details about the recall and the work that was done, in case anyone is interested:

It's a shame I didn't have the opportunity to take pictures of the gun before it went to LIW for alteration.
