The next best older magazines (when you can find them) are the machined ones made by Hanael Schmeisser / Ernst Thalmann. The wartime ones are marked FXO and E/37 The post war Thalmann manufactured magazines marked 2/1001 can often be had at reasonable prices.
These were made to reasonably close specifications and function well when they are undamaged.
