Star,
I am not suggesting that your mag has been renumbered. I am sorry that I gave that impression. Ronny, me and others have discussed the number sizes before via emails. (Maybe on this forum too) A different way of having serial numbers on the mag is simular in size and location to a navy mag. I have two non matching mags for my DWM Borchardt and they go both ways. I have seen them both ways on other Borchardts. And they don't look redone either. If memory serves me right, a definite conclusion was never reached regarding the size and direction of the numbers.

Some day, I will start a thread with pictures and get a real discussion going on it. But I have a lot of learning to do on my digital camera and computer first.
