DISA (Dansk Industri Syndikat) Danish Industry Syndicate (Owned by AP Møller) made P08 magazines after WWII.
Several designs. To USA P83: Magazine bottom cast from Silumin with hole for 9mm casing as spring guide. Follower from cast steel. Loading lever with criss-cross pattern and stepped edge. Finish is zinkphosfate/ zink parkerizing. 1952: 10350 pcs to WAC (Western Arms Corporation) in LA 1956: 4000 pcs to WAC in LA 1957: 1000 pcs to PFC in LA (marked "MADE IN DENMARK") 1960: 750 pcs to WAC in LA P122: No 9mm case as spring guide in bottom but a proper spring guide in follower. Follower from cast steel. Loading lever with criss-cross pattern and no stepped edge. Magazine body hardned. Finish is zinkphosfate/ zink parkerizing. P124 is a P122 with "MADE IN DENMARK" stamped on the bottom. 1960: 350 pcs to JLG in NY (marked "MADE IN DENMARK") 1961: 220 pcs to MEC in Chicago (marked "MADE IN DENMARK") To UK P83 1956: 4000 pcs to MOS London 1959: 250 pcs to P H ltd. Birmingham To Norway P124 1960 2000 pcs to EW in Oslo (marked "MADE IN DENMARK") 1960 100 pcs to EW in Oslo (marked "MADE IN DENMARK") To Germany P83 1960 100 pcs to ??? Hamburg 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. https://www.arma-dania.dk/forum/view...hp?f=36&t=1262 |
