Here is an example of a late war Stg 44 magazine. The clear finish is also known as "bonderized" by some collectors. Other portions of the rifles, such as the foregrip, pistol grip section and other small parts will be found with this finish.

Thanks to Alanint and John
Great info and background. Enjoyed photos. I am currently investigating using Brownells Zinc Phosphate Parkerizing product. Again, the only collector value is to the family. Does anyone have opinion from personal experience with this product or know a better way to go. Appreciate the help.

P.S. Should I be posting this in the restoration/refinish threads instead of here. Sorry, still novice to forum.
