1917 Erfurt

Mark, the blued wooden bottom magazines are typical of post WW1 Weimar manufacture. They could have been acquired by the vet after the conflict, perhaps several years afterwards during occupation time. The numbers on the bottoms are indicative of Weimar military issue. Thye are nice magazines. If you wanted to be 100% "accurate", WW1 era mags are certainly obtainable, but Erfurt magazines are different than DWM mags (former have yellowish tinge and the wooden mag bottom has one or two C/letter acceptance marks on them).
