WaA63 stamped mag tube

Bob, I don't like it. The mag is an early wood base with a nickle tube...No WaA should be on it or was on it when made. Since the WaA is an acceptance mark it would be applied soon after or even during manufacture.
This mag was accepted for service in WW1 and the WaA came long after. I have never seen one not that that means anything but I think it defaces an otherwise correct mag.
Besides which the WaA is accompanied by the number of the inspector. This has no number....
This is either an attempt at enhancing the value or fantasy.
