unusual serial number

aldo35 · 08-09-2023, 05:07 PM

Hi,
I have an unusual serial numbered mag. It's number is 0105. Normally I think it would have been numbered 105.
This is an FXO mag stamp P08 on tube There is a 2 indicating it' was a spare.

Has anyone seen this numbering before?

Good morning,

This is a Luger magazine reconditioned by the police workshops from Erfurt and Mauser parts, probably in 1943 with the particularity of having a Steyr barrel...
Only a few hundred products...
Registered numbers: 0105, 0115, 0265, 0270.
The Luger 0105 is in the USA, with the 1 0105 magazine.
