S/42 1937

Nice going!! Congratulations!! The suffix is a "Z". S/N 4764z was completed about October 1937. Your Waffenamt Marks (SE/63 & DE/63) indicate it was a transition in inspectors.

SE = Stick or Straight Wing Eagle
DE = Droop Wing Eagle

Does anyone know if my magazine is correct for pistol?

It is a Haenel fxo SE37 - marked p 1419 with gray (alum?) bottom

I'm under the impression that the Haenel magazines were introduced at a later time.

thanks

Most, if not all, Mauser Military Magazines were made by Haenel. Your center pin bottom was introduced as a 122 magazine in the 1940 Lugers. The fxo magazines didn't show up until the 1941 production.

The proper magazine for your Z-Block 1937 is side pinned, with a Waffenamt Stamp SE/63 AND a "Z" suffix.

Hope this helps!
