Based on what I remember from my reading, the country of origin was required to be marked on most imported goods in 1890 and then changed to "made in ----" in 1923. I have a theory that only those mags that were imported separately from guns, required the "Germany" stamp, as if brought in as part of a pistol, the pistol would be marked. So according to my "theory" any 'Germany' or 'made in Germany" marked mag is a replacement. TH
