Hi,
Some detective work done,
VEB Ernst Th�¤lmann, was a conglomerate of Suhl based companies in former east germany. Went bankrupt in 2002 and seems to have been split up into a number of 'new old companies'. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere tools/supplies turned up that enabled someone to either produce new magazines or construct them from new old stock.
Some interesting links to this company: Simson and Haenel...
Perhaps some of our German members can shed light on this company and the new companies it spawned?
