Capt Art, the 1940 Lugers are very interesting with respect to the magazines issued with the pistol. Any magazine marked "fxo" were not issued with 1940 Lugers, including any black plastic bottom magazines.
The magazine issued with these Lugers depend on the serial number (S/N), including the letter suffix, if there is one. The possibilities are:
1) Aluminum bottom with S/N and Waffenamt (WaA) Mark E/655
2) Aluminum bottom, center pin Marked "122" on the side with S/N and WaA E/37 on the top section of the aluminum part.
3) Aluminum bottom, center pin Marked "122" on the side with S/N and WaA E/37 on the right center section of the aluminum part.
4) Aluminum bottom, center pin Marked "122" on the side with S/N on the bottom (NO WaA bottom marks).
If you can give me the serial number, I might be able to narrow the field a bit.
