Hi all,

I have a 1916 Luger with one wood base magazine and one serial numbered magazine.

As an aside I picked up a 1916 holster, belt and buckle.

When did they start putting serial numbers on the magazines ?

Are there differences in wood base magazines that you can identify year made or a number of years a particular style was manufactured ?

I am assuming if there is no way of telling when a wood base magazine was made that any wood base mag could be considered "matching".

Thoughts gentlemen ??

Thank you for any input !!!
