Luger Mag Question
Picked up a 36 dated holster at a show yesterday but to my suprise it still had a mag in it so I quickly snapped it up for £45!
Its a Stainless Steel body with an alloy bottom with the marking as follows: 3470 1 Above the numbers theres a symbol which looks like a star above a D on its side, kind of like a lighthouse? Sorry for my description but I've looked around the net and can't find any other examples of this symbol so I thought i'd ask the experts Cheers Danny |

Danny, Sounds like a police mag, but without a photo it's hard to say if you have a nickel plated extruded Schmeisser mag or the more common plated folded Mauser one. TH

That appears to be a police marked mag, number 1.

Danny, Thanks for the nice photos. I agree with Ed T. that the Sunburst/D Weimar Police marking (i've never seen one this large either) is probably spurious. The renumbered Weimar era alum bottom, appears to have been reinstalled in a later Mauser nickel plated (correct would be tin plated)body.TH

Thanks for the replies
So what do you think is the story behind this mag? Weimar era mag that was refurbished late/post war? Finally was it worth £45 Danny
