42 stamped aluminum base mag

Would the 5753u have been stamped on the blue body aluminum based mag this late in the run? Or would any blank mag end up with numbers? I would prefer a blank versus mismatch I think.

Looking at this post I realize I did not give adequate info.

The magazine is shiny silver colored and slant cut at the bottom with a bottom pin.

No stamps but the tiny 42 on the round area on the edge of the aluminum base.

Does not appear to have any markings removed

The hole for the catch is worn long as the mag hangs out of the gun slightly and does not feed correctly.

I bought a Mitchell arms mag 20 years ago and the gun feeds and shoots perfectly.

Magazine is in excellent shape.

What is it?

Hi Bob, your magazine is an armours replacement. It's a legit magazine, but it wasn't original to your pistol. As FNorm stated, fxo magazines were shipped with your Luger and were most probably numbered with the pistols serial number, including the suffix "u" on the bottom. I hope this helps!
