Wow!!! This doesn't happen often. I have recorded in HWIS Table 14-4 a wood-base mag stamped 490, PALII , 1190, 2 (vertical orientation). These almost certainly indicate the inventory number, police headquarters, gun serial number and spare magazine. Note the difference in inventory numbers. Fortunately, I have also included a photo of this base in HWIS on p. 222 and can see how I misread this number. It is actually 409. This is the original spare magazine for your gun!!!!! How it got into this other gun is a mystery.
