Mauser 42 Kriegsmarine Marked Luger

According to the people in Germany the 1939-42 K-Marine Lugers were assembled in the
y and z blocks with just a very few in the - r - and later suffix blocks. Your serial number and property number fit in the area of the other - z - block K-Marine pistols. I would think a SE-655 magazine would be correct. One thought on searching for acceptance marks on 1939-42 pistols might be this. If the pistol is prior to the mid - w - block, chances are its a SE-63 SE-63 with a larger than normal 63's under the stick eagle's. 1939-42 Lugers had a neat acceptance mark transition. Early - w - block pistols were SE-63 SE-63 (large 63's) Mid - w - was SE-63 SE-655 and late - w - was SE-655 SE-655. After the - w - block the SE-655 seemed to be normal for the pistol But, not all inclusive as far as magazine acceptance is concerned. Do you plan to keep this Navy Luger. I agree with the collector who said the fxo magazines came much later than your pistol, the rolled tin blue body with a SE-655 acceptance mark would be more correct. Just for the thought. There are no recorded 122 code magazines reported before the ns block of the 1940-42 pistols.
