Military Magazines
The Luger magazines issued with the K and G-S/42 were rolled tin construction with a nickel body and solid alumunum base. During the 1936-S/42 production at the - m - block the body changed from nickel to blue. All Luger magazine bodies were blue beyond this point. The blue extruded type C.G. Haenel 122 code - stick eagle 37 magazines with the concave pinned aluminum base appeared in the - no suffix - block of the 1940-42 Luger production. The first fxo-SE37-P08 marked magazine appeared very near the end of the - o - block of the 41-byf pistols. These magazines had an inverted or "upside down" P 08. They were followed very shortly by the same magazine except the P 08 mark was right side up.
