That is an erfurt acceptance marking (proofs are to see if a gun can pass a test such as a firing proof), but many folks will call them "proofs", I do it myself on many occassions, but they are actually acceptance markings

.

Does the magazine match; does it have the same number??

Having a accepted Erfurt magazine is nice, but does not make it much more valuable (negligible I would say).
