We've "seen" each other on the FB group...

I didn't get around to cracking a book about it, or asking here. My impression up until now was that some contract guns and Commercials that Mauser made reverted to the pre-1937 finishing methods and styles.

The Facebook-linked gun in this thread, the newest-made in the series, has a pre- Haenel-Schmeiser mag, from the earlier '30s, which is anomalous compared to the other two linked. My Spidey Sense tells me it's incorrect by a few years...is that right?
