Mag Numbers - different fonts

[rhmc24@yahoo.com]

I have a 1920 Luger with holster and two mags with numbers matching to pistol s/n. One mag number set looks more like the same dies struck it as on the gun. The other has 3 numbers a bit larger than the other that is same as on other mag. Holster is dated 1940 and pistol has polizeiwehr bayern marking on front grip. Pistol is in fine condition with VG bore and 50% straw.

I'm assuming the pistol originally had mag with wood end plug but these are aluminum. Probably fitted with new mags when it was recalled for military use.

Suspicion is that the number is not original, maybe re-numbered. Close exam of the metal bases indicates no removal of any metal. Further this pistol was from an estate of a WW2 vet and he had owned it to my knowledge from the earlly '50s, maybe brought it back from the war. That was a time when Lugers abounded for less than $50 and nobody thought about faking anything.

Question is there any known reason for the same numbers, one mag having some figures larger than others? Does it matter - collector wise? Thanks, Robert
