Magazine i.d. Help

Your suffix appears to be an "e", but this magazine has been scrubbed and renumbered and is not in the best condition to boot.

It may have once had the desirable stick eagle over "63" acceptance proof, but it is impossible to tell now due to the grinding it endured.

If you want a quality magazine to complement a quality, collectable pistol, this isn't the one.

I have to disagree with Doug, I don't think this magazine has been renumbered. Early Mauser magazines were sanded at the factory prior to numbering to remove a casting line, the photo shows one of mine. The droop eagle/63 inspection mark is correct for 1936, but the e suffix, I believe, is late 1935.
Regards, Norm
