I don't feel so good when I see a spare mag of a LP08 with a +. I asked Mr. Kornmayer and Dr. Sturgess about, and both they told me(Mr.Kornmayer referred also to the experience of MR. Joachim Goertz) that nowere they were able to find any track of the fact that the LP08 were issued with "original" spare mags (numbered to the gun and with one or more? + ). In their opinion the LP08 wre issued with the shoulder stock, the holster, the shoulder sling, the tool and the rod. Nothing else. the mag and pouch were added after, from other sources. They had always seen unnumbered spare mags, either DWM or Erfurt ones, in the pouches with LP08 rigs. This does not mean that early in the war the matter was different,you know that LP08 were early carried also in belt holsters,without stocks.....
Hope this helps.
