Pat, the entire bottom of the mag looks like it has been sanded or ground down to me. the suffix letter "e" is unlike any other Luger suffix I have examined. Perhaps this magazine was renumbered by the East Germans or the Russians after WW2.

You've got a strange one there, the WaA20 is the makers mark for
Gustav Appel, engine works, Paewesiner way, 19, Berlin Spandau ( cnx ) I've never seen one like that before.

Do you think that the base may be original and have anything to do with the large E that is sometimes found along side the chamber date on some lugers.

Just a wag but as I recall Ron Smith had an interesting lugers history from one of the security firms guarding an aircraft plant, if the small e has a similar bearing to an aircraft engine plant this may be the origin of the large E on chamber marked lugers.-- ie --similar security firm assigned to guard the engine plant.
