Just don't know enough about these items...

I think the magazine should have an extra hole, no?

The magazine appears to be a post WWI commercial.

George, how does one determine - I have a 1909 DWM and are they made differently/features?

Pre war commercials have a trapezoidal dimple on both sides just below the mouth. Later commercials have half circle dimples.
