SCHMEISSER HAENEL PATENT marked mag?

seabee73 · 08-31-2010, 09:10 PM

Picked up one of these at a flea market today. Appears to be milled aluminum body, and one of the nicest Luger mags I've ever seen. Four digit # on aluminum base, "3" below numbers, and a faint eagle(?) over #s. Schmeisser marking on rib under loading button slot.
What do I have here?

Karl, sounds like a police magazine to me. Pictures would help!

Yes the Haenels with the chrome plating is a very nice looking magaizne. Almost universally made for the police, but pictures of each side and the base from 2 angles would be great.

It's an issue mag (#3) from a Landjaegerei Police unit.
