Identify Old Crusty Mag
I was perusing my mag collection and found this oddball specimen today. It is completely umarked, old with a few small spots of pitting.
The follower button is unusual, and the mag weighs twice as much as my other mags - like solid steel. It looks like one extruded piece of metal and not wrapped like my imperial mags. It has some cosmoline inside of it, and I have no idea where I got it. I'm thinking old POC mag with replaced bottom, but any thoughts on its identity are appreciated. Clark

Clark, no offense but your pictures are uh, hard to tell...
Body wise, if you get a bunch of magazines, it is amazing how some are so much heavier than others. You can sure tell the difference in assorted magazines by their weight; and like Jerrry said, the pot metal like aluminum or whatever they are made of by the east germans is very heavy. ed |

Kindda looks like a Haenel Schmeisser extruded type 2 or 3 police with a wood bottom.
