One of the things I love about this forum is that we are very capable of taking opposing points of view and discussing the situation with good manners and an open mind.
With that said, I will have to say that Tharpo's post has convinced me that the magazine is legitmate...
Prior to Tharpo's comparison photo to a very close serial number in the next series (d) ... it appeared in my opinion to possibly be an overstamp that as was stated earlier looker "very well done"... but I would have to jump off the fence with those on the "genuine" side now...
Thanks Tharpo...
... and Eric,... your Krieghoff magazine is what you expect in a Kriefhoff... a perfect example of quality workmanship. Slanted numbers and all... after all the numbers are applied by hand, not a machine...
