Luger Magazine ID?

Gentlemen:
This magazine is devoid of any markings. The bottom is Aluminum, but I'm unshure if it was a newer replacement on an older tube. I'm leaning towards an aftermarket at this point.
Anythoughts?
Thanks in advance!

This is either an aftermarket magazine, likely an old Triple-K or Megcar... or mexican manufactured...

OR what it looks like to me is that it is an original magazine that has been "repaired" using an aluminum base from an aftermarket magazine... the dual pins holding the base are not seen on original magazines.

Both wooden and aluminum bases on original mags are held in by ONE pin at the rear, except in the case of the extruded magazines (FXO and Haenel type-which this is not), which hold the base on with a single pin through the knob itself.

Original Magazine, different base, yep. NO aftermarket has those intricate stamp lines.
