Magazine identification, now with pictures

[mrerick]

They are the group of four magazines in your first two photos, post #6.

Your "fxo" or "122" concealment marked magazines are all welded steel and milled into final form. The sharp edges indicate that they were milled. These were made by Haenel Schmeisser. After WW-II the plant was taken over by the East Germans, and brought into the Ernst Thalmann organization operations in Suhl. The "2/1001" concealment code was then used.

I have a 2/1001 that goes with my VOPO Luger. I will be posting about that one later on. It has a Simson marked toggle which i found interesting.

Anyway, that mag and the others in my pictures that i posted look the same other than markings. However i did notice that on the 2/1001 magazine, that the top 1 inch or so is darker in color than the rest of the magazine. Any significance to that?
