Great buy for you though.

Thanks. The magazine with aluminum bottom has 2/1001 stamped on the body. The one with plastic bottom has FXO stamp and Eagle over 37 in two places on the body. Also is stamped with P.08 The aluminum one post war? The other one has a small piece chipped of the bottom plaatic piece Can I replace the bottom?

2/1001 is a post war DDR Vopo magazine; yes you can replace the base. FXO is a late WWII German mag.

An original will be tough to impossible to find, a close repro is available.

AT that price, I'd just use it!

Yeah , I will try to find a black bottom for the late war magazine. The FXO eagle over 37 magazines were only made with black plastic bottoms?
The other I will just use to shoot.

Still want to get a correct magazine for this 1938 S/42 or at least close to correct.
