WTK: Luger mag. question

William,

The information Frank gave you is correct and I would like to add a little to that. The black plastic bottom magazines began to be used in 1941 Lugers, but only approx. 20% of the 1941s had the plastic bottoms. These would not be serial numbered to the pistol. If a 1941 had an aluminum bottom, they would have to have the full number and letter suffix to be correct. Also the Waffenamt should be on any aluminum bottom magazines from the Third Reich era. The plastic bottom magazines should have the waffenamt on the mag body.
