Hi Herbert,
It is highly unlikely that your blued magazine with the wooden bottom is correct. Blued tubes did not start showing up until the "M" block of the 1936 S/42's, so that dates the tubes at the earlist as 1936. The latest that I know of a wooden base was the Obendorf 1934 Mausers. The serial number being sanded and varnished just adds to opinion of it being messed with and non-original. Guess it is your call, but it is very doubtful in my opinion.
