I think the first of the aluminum base magazine bottoms became available in 1926. There is a Police directive dated 1926 that mentions the change to these new bottoms when the current supply of wood base bottoms are consumed. Consequently, these aluminum base magazines were well established by the time Mauser received the Military Luger contract in 1934. The aluminum base magazines used in the Simson Lugers appear to be somewhat different than those produced by C. G. Haenel. During this same period of time there was another source of magazines that seems to have left no trail to research. These are marked "Stark" on the nickel magazine body and normally found with Police Lugers of the Weimar era. If any of you guys have any data or related information on "Stark" magazines, I would really appreciate the information.
