Another magazine question...

[tharpo]

Mike,
Here is what a correct G date magazine with a "b" suffix looks like. This magazine has a shiny plated body.
S/42, 42, and byf are codes for Mauser but these codes were not stamped on the matching magazine bottoms that came with the gun.
The exceptions are that S/42 and 42 were stamped on replacement magazine bottoms.
If you could post a photo of your magazine it would help.
