As George replied to me, all WW1 era DWM mags had all 4 s/n numbers and the suffix. Now this 1915 has only the last two digits (22) and a Imperial era proof stamped below this. Any idea of the reason for this? Maybe a WW1 era arsenal replacement. The owner is 100% sure it was original as when brought to the USA. Would anyone in the US fake this with a Imperial stamp? I don't know why, but though everything else on the 1915 looks propery matched, if the mag has been faked, what else might be? Leads me to have doubt in buying this Luger.
Tks,Bill
