Hi Doug, Your gun's serial number most likely is followed by a suffix letter, visible on the front of the frame below the serial number, like the one shown. Military Lugers were numbered in blocks of 10,000, each one, except the first, followed by a suffix letter. To find a matching magazine (almost impossible), you need one with the same suffix. Regards, Norm.

Hi Doug, A DE/63 magazine in the same suffix block as your gun (y suffix) is probably the best you can hope to find. Even that is no easy task. Good luck! Norm.

Norme,
Thank you all for your advice. I have learned a lot here this week and boy can I feel myself getting drawn in.
