What is the correct mag for a 1936 S/42?

Milled with aluminum or bakelite bottoms?

The correct mag would be the type 1(plated w/aluminum

base) but depending upon the serial number the type 2was used also. Don't have a book available at the moment to check the serial ranges.

HÃ?Â¥kan,

According to Jan Still, "Third Reich Lugers" page 125,

Type 1 Army magazines of rolled, nickel plated, sheet metal with a slant-cut aluminum base were used with "1936 (up to m serial block) dated Lugers." Type 2 magazines "same as Type 1 Army except blued" were used "with 1936 (past m serial block)." Hope this helps.

Hi,

The correct magazine for a 1936 S/42 up to the M block is a rolled nickle body with an aluminium base. During the M block and after, you can find blue rolled body with an aluminium base. After the M block you can find either, a nickle or a blue body and that would both be correct as this was a transition period.


As far as the fxo magazines go, they did not show up until about the P block of the byf 41's. 122 magazines were first used in the early 1940 code 42's.

While we're on the subject of mags, what's the correct mag for a G Date? Thanks, guys.

Hi,

G-dates are an interesting variation and depending on the serial number, it has some different magazine possibilities. All would have a nickel body with an aluminium base, but the acceptance proof on the base could be a B/90 or W/154, or E/211 or E/63.

This mag info seems great for Tech or General Info to this newbie (EOM)

ViggoG, The mag bottom shown has definately been renumbered and not with the original die set. The E/83 inspector's proof was only used in 1938. The correct magazine for your 1906 AE should be a cadium plated tube with an unnumbered wood bottom. Tom h

I have two mags. that would be correct for a 1936 s/42. Both are type one, with a droop wing eagle 63. One is in the g block and one in the f block.
