s/n 5531a all matching a local pawn shop offered her a whopping 500.00 for the pistol

Good afternoon,

I have come across a magazine for a Luger with the serial number 5531 stamped up it. Could this be the magazine you are missing?
If it is please let me know.
I have attached pictures for you to verify if this the correct item.

Nice eye Landrover! Unfortunately the magazines started out in different guns.
Yours is 5531x with #1 at the top. This would be a 1940/41 Police magazine.
The other Luger is 5531k from 1938.
