Sorry! I just noticed that that they are 2 different stamps between simson and krieghoff. But that wasnt reallt what I was looking at. Reading through the beginning of the thread and what alan commented on:

I would argue that the bases are not original at all. These are newly made aluminum castings. (Observe the sharp lines and pristine condition of both. Not a SINGLE ding in either base and the stamped serial numbers have raised edges. After 70 + years for BOTH mags to be in this condition? Really?).

Got me looking at the initial magazine in this thread at the raised edges on that particular one. Looking at the nickel body mag and the krieghoff some of there edges are a little raised. Only around the "2" on the krieghoff. Thats really whta got me asking about the one from earlier. But if I look at all 3 of these mags in this thread, they all kinda have the edges a little bit raised right at the corner. But When you stamp the bottom, the metal that is there I guess compresses at the edge in places and gives it that slight raised or bulge look. So, the more I look at them today I'm thinking that all the aluminum bottoms probably do that, I would think.
But I'm glad you pointed the difference between the eagle/6 and eagle/2. cause thats a new one on me. Still learning and asking questions so I dont do a dumb thing later in life when buying these guns.
