Simson magazine

One should conclude that the magazine did not ORIGINALLY start out with that gun...

true, whenever restamped, there is a 1 in what, maybe 1 in 100 chance that this re-number was made for this gun. (take all known serial numbers that could be 542, well I was going to say those after 1925, but it could be for an erfurt or DWM, so maybe 1 in 200 chance?

Someone who cares can figure it out, I will never sell 542 as a "matching" rig, but except for me having a number put onto a blank base, the closest I am likely to get.

That said, I think it started as a Simson armory replacement magazine; and whether renumbered or not, how often do you find a era correct, inspector stamped magazine base?
