They are NOT extruded magazines and therefore can't be Haenel Schmeisser police mag production.

They could quite possibly be original MITCHELL stainless steel magazines from the original production when they used the standard type P.08 magazine, and Triple-K may have been the producing sub-contractor for that.

That's my $0.02 story and I'm stickin' to it.
John,
the mags hold 8 rounds. I've tried it out on the range yesterday.
They work great.
If they are reproductions, who is gifted enough to manufacture such kind of nickled masterpieces in your opinion?
