Replacement Mag?

ChannelIsles · 11-25-2008, 07:14 PM

A recent 41 byf came with one matching mag & the following.
Is this an armourer replacement?
It has both 42 & 655 markings.

My guess!! Your magazine is an armorers replacement for a late 1939 or 1940 Military Mauser Luger!

That's great to hear Frank - This would tie in well with the '41 issue if one mag had been lost or damaged. Are these scarce?

I would say moderately scarce!! And it looks like a nice one!

One nice thing about armourer's replacement mags, they are "correct" with most WWII Lugers. These mags are not rare, but they are scarse.
