How can you tell a DWM from and Erfurt mag? Possible post examples, please
!

To the best of my knowledge the Erfurt will have the usual Erfurt proof mark on the wooden base. The DWM does not.

Erfurt on right?

Erfurt magazines also have a slightly more yellow nickle plating, and the crimp on top of the magazine is more D-shaped on a DWM magazine.

It will be obvious when you compare them side by side.

DWM right or left, to be sure, Tks

Left, but early commercial DWM mags also had the crimp that looks like the one on the right.

Hi Eric,
You could just as well ask "How much is a house in Spain?"

Good Point!

$10 to $500; maybe even more if it as matching mag that someone needs!

Seriously, most go between $100 and $200.
