New guy here with a 1939 mauser 42 luger

The nickle plated magazine, made of folded metal, probably had a wood base when made. The metal base - aluminum - was later added. It likely dates from the WW1 era or shortly after during the Weimar period.

The blue magazine is closer to being correct for your Luger in terms of the period in which it was made.

The "+" sign on both indicate that they were originally the second or spare magazine when issued with their original pistol. They are military mags. Police mags were marked 1 & 2 with the 2 being the spare mag.

6705a would be for a 1935 G date Luger.
2264m would be for a 1938 S/42.
This can be determined by the acceptance stamp and letter suffix.
