Question on luger mag marking

sdmark777 · 06-28-2018, 02:07 PM

Your two mags have two different letter suffixes. So they are from two diffent P08's. The numbers being the same lend credence to rolandtg's observation that one mag might have been ground and renumbered and they just did not change the letter suffix. Does your P08 have either the i or w suffix? So yes this would affect the value negatively, going from two matching mags down to one or no matching mag. Post some side profile pic close ups might help. I had an S/42 mag that was ground and renumbered to match the serial. It was obvious when looking at the side profile on that one when compared to an untouched original mag. Hope that helps. Mark
