Tac & Pete, I too have owned a few early wood bottomed mags with the "flaming bomb" (actually the astrological symbol for Taurus, used as an inspector's mark). I believe that these were early DWM armour's spare mags, comparable to the later metal bottom Mauser's marked with the 42 or S/42 code. Since the US test (and most other M1900) lugers have this same symbol in the front frame well) it is possible, that these were the spare mags sold during that period, as some collectors insist. TH
