You are correct about magazine. The navy marking and e/189 do not go together. One of the other had to be added. Since the adding of the e/189 would not increase value, then it is the other marking. Calling it Boosting is a polite term.
Since the mag has had help, then there is a question as to the pistol itself --- especially considering that the serial number for the pistol is not in or near the range given in Still's Axis Pistols. In fact it is far away from the other number. Possible of course, but one can wonder.
