WW2 magazine question

Don H. · 01-24-2004, 07:57 PM

Just purchased a 1917 DWM today at a local gun shop and it came with a magazine that I haven't seen before. I would like some help with. It looks like a type 1 army mag. that you see with a K date ,G date, and the 1936 military.The bottom is totaly unmarked and the pin looks fire blued. I have 2 DW63 replacment mags and this looks the same except no markings at all. The mag. is in excellent condition and hasn't been messed with. Any thoughts on this? I bought the Luger for the magazine but at $325.00 I now have a nice matched Luger too.

Don,

Sounds like a commercial or contract mag.
Nickel and woodbottom?

Something like this?

No the bottom isn't wood it's aluminum and the body is nickel. Just like a type one army in Jan Stills Third Reich book page 126 and totally unmarked.
