Serial number sizes

Hi Bill,

When looking at magazine serial numbers you have to compare them to what they are and the manufacture. For instance, Police magazines of the Weimar era are different than Mauser police magazines. Anything that is oversized on the base of the magazine is a Weimar magazine. We are not talking about import stuff here, but original issue magazines. When looking at Mauser magazines, they should be exactly the same size and style as what is on the left receiver. You have to know the manufacture and what is correct to each, and stay in each group, for instance Mauser military, or Mauser police, or Weimar police and not intermix them.
