Stamps
======
The stamp on the left side of the barrel is a Test Proof. On the right side of the barrel, you should find an Acceptance Stamp (B90). The style transition of stamps can be summerized from the book, but I have not done that yet. B90 appears on many K & G date guns, seems to be a gun part Acceptance Stamp, and S91 appears to be the final Acceptance Stamp.

Stamps on DWM receiver are different from S/42
=====================================
The concept is same, but appears in different style and format. I assume hardness checking & parts checking stamps (two on the left side) on the DWM 1915 were replaced by a single B90 on the S/42. (experts correct me if I'm wrong....)

Type 1 Military Magazine, Page 125 of "Third Reich Lugers" (Still, 1988):
========================================================
Rolled (shaped) from sheet metal and held together at the edge with a crimp. The bottom is slant cut with an aluminum base secured with a pin through the rear of the base and tube. The tube is nickel plated. Acceptance stamps reported: 37, B90, S.91, S.92, E/154, E/211, and droop E/63. These magazines were issued with K, G, and 1936 (up to m serial block) dated Lugers.
