This info is taken from the order books and delivered quantity might differ slightly.

From the start (1900) the firm was named "Compagnie Madsen" renamed to "Dansk Rekyl Riffel Syndikat" (Danish Recoil Rifle Syndicate) in 1936 (when it was bought by AP Møller) and renamed again to DISA after WWII. Bombed/sabotaged several times during the war as they worked (a litthe to keen) for the Germans.

So some 16670 Danish made P08 magazines were once in time in the US of A.
Sadly many have perished.

This is info i have nicked from a Danish forum and i have no further info to give.
