Hi Guys,
I bid on those mags and I got them all for just over $300 including postage to NZ,
They arrived today and sure, some of them (about 50%) had some surface rust which cleaned up real well.
They are all what I would call post WW1 and WW2 mags are as "rare as rocking horse Shi...droppings" down here so here is a list of what I got.
Mag #1 & #2
Hanel sixth Type plastic base with blue case FXO e/37 made by Manteuffel & Co in Zella Mehlis (one has a cracked base)
Mag #3
Hanel Fifth type PO8 Reversed with FXO double stamped with E/37 stamped over the second FXO and E/37 on stem, Blue case with Aluminium base no 9216s,
Mag #4
Hanel Third type with Weimar eagle on base (aluminium) #10946 Blue steel case, E/37 on case with 122 code (1939-41) Hanel made in Suhl
Mag #5 & 6,
Mauser Military Aluminium base and blue case, #1698o and #2296x second mag is stamped with mag no 1 stamp (Police?)
Mag #7,
Very early Hanel Schmisser Patent stamped, extruded, with judder markes on extrustion and with no number and no proofs on the aluminium base and blue case.
I'm Happy,
Regards
Murray
