I would agree that most mags will work fairly well, but I would not say they just work.

As far as I know, 1900's were acceptance marked and proofed, only ones without any markings would be the ones for the time frame of the tests (sn 6000-8000 approx)

It seems that acceptance marking and proofing on 1900s are a bit hit or miss. I do not have a lot of examples to cite, but I do know that some early 1900 Lugers have neither acceptance markings or proofs, i.e. I have 1900 AE, # 2136 that has no proofs. I think perhaps that the early commercial pieces that were produced for export were not required by German proof laws to be marked.
