Darren,

As Mark mentioned in his post, these magazines are correct for P.08s produced at this time.

But, although they are of Haenel Schmeisser design, they were not produced by them.

In fact, this particular variation was produced in Zella Mehlis by the firm, Manteuffel and Co. This particular sub-contractor was staffed with forced labor drawn from the nearby "Froelicher Man" i.e. "Happy Man" Camp.
