One of the mags seemed to be renumbered to the pistol, the alu bottom has marks of erasing and the font of the numbers are not original. Very nice P08 though RC or whatelse.

Thanks for comments RWS... I noticed that too about the mag numbering. You guys think the East Germans remarked WW2 mag bottoms and used them in there 2/1001 mags?or has this East German mag been force matched?

Most to all RC K98's are mismatched due to the fact bolts were thrown on one pile and rifles on another, then all was electropenciled to match when mis-mated. Try tearing the "bolt" if you will out of a Luger to seperate, just easier to take whole gun and electropencil and "X" stamp................

The East-Germans didn't bother to use WW2 magazine bottoms in new magazines, they just created new Haenel type magazines with pot metal bottoms (instead of aluminium) and stamped them accordingly.

I doubt that the grips are also original to this gun. It would most likely have had the VoPo 'bullseye' grips on it instead.
