newbness doesn't matter, I have been playing with these for a long time and I get the extruded and blah, blah and simply can't tell the difference to a new guy...
Looking at magazines, I can tell you when they were made, but trying to say it outloud, well, I just can't.
In this hobby on the forum, its why a picture is worth a thousand words, it shouts out what type it is, even if you don't know.
But, just by what you said, its a WW2 era magazine (most likely, but the reason to ask for pictures is to ensure it is not a post war repro or DDR mag)
