... I think many agree that Mauser got some parts from HK in 1939 to include some old Simson E/6 sideplates (which you see from time to time on Banners) along with some brown plastic grips...
This makes me wonder if Erfurt/Simson mags that were proofed but un-numbered could have had a similar origin, and one wound up with this gun?
