Unusual magazine

Luger magazines usually are as follows: nickel or white metal tubes have wooden bottoms and blued or blackened tubes have aluminum bottoms. I have a magazine with a blued tube without any markings whatsoever with a WOODEN bottom that has had the serial number sanded off. You can still see a "+" mark. It has been varnished. Both Still and Kenyon do not show darkened tubes and wooden bottoms in any of their photos. Is this a total aftermarket fabrication? Does anyone know if this could have been original?
