After WW-II the plant was taken over by the East Germans, and brought into the Ernst Thalmann organization operations in Suhl. The "2/1001" concealment code was then used.

I have a 2/1001 that goes with my VOPO Luger. I will be posting about that one later on. It has a Simson marked toggle which i found interesting.
Anyway, that mag and the others in my pictures that i posted look the same other than markings. However i did notice that on the 2/1001 magazine, that the top 1 inch or so is darker in color than the rest of the magazine. Any significance to that?
