The magazine started out life as an "armorer's replacement magazine' and was not numbered. It was renumbered but a previous US owner to boost the gun. I have never seen any evidence that German miltary armorers numbered magazines. Hundreds, if not thousands, of these 42 and S/42 marked magazines have been ruined by US boosters over the years. What's really a killer is to come across an Erfurt single or double acceptance stamped magazine that has had a bogus serial number added.
