E/154 S/42 + mag

Dale,
It's my understanding that the B 90 acceptance carried over from K dates into early G dates, up to about S# 7000a. Next the E/154 was introduced then E/211 and then DWE/63 towards the end of G date production. I'm in no way trying to dispute Still's TRL. This info came to me from a long time luger collector and Aaron Davis' Standard Catalog of Lugers, which is said to have quite a few mistakes.
My guess is your mag stamped S/42 and no serial would be a replacement mag. The + indicates "extra mag", but those didn't have the S/42 and they were serialized to the gun.
