Also, from my understanding of procedures here, Lugers were the property of the unit, not the individual. Magazines may not have been stored in the pistol/holster when not in use. My unit(s) stored magazines in a big box and issued the first ones to hand. Keeping numbered magazines with the associated pistol may have been desirable but not necessarily strictly enforced. If one malfunctioned, it may have been replaced with one that worked, and the devil take the number!!!

One can envision all sorts of instances where magazines may have been interchanged...
