Gentlemen: I have an E/154 S/42+ unserialed nickel body mag . I am a little curious about it's place eg. K date , G date or just 1936 s/42. I can't find a symbol designation for this in any books but it is clearly mentioned in Still's Third reich Lugers on the mag page(125) as being a type 1 proper acceptance mark taht are correct for up to the m block of '36 lugers.I guess that would make it good for any S/42 up thru then . Why are there no symbols of this eagle acceptance in books .We all know about the other 154 mark that is the same as the B 90 etc. This eagle has 3 droop feathers on ea. side of a single centered leg . Is this possibly a replacement only variation Mag? Any help would be greatly appreciated .Isn't it wierd how Collectors can find interest in such minute details (Guillty as Charged)
Thank You, Dale
