Who is the producer of this magazine?

These are Triple-K aftermarket magazines... they are the only aftermarket producer that uses two pins as I recall, but Mec-Gar may also have used this method.

Someone has stamped numbers into them, and may have replaced the original bottoms with new aluminum. IMHO, these are not original German production. I would bet that they only hold 7 rounds. There are mold lines down the center of the followers... not in my experience with German made magazines.

They are NOT extruded magazines and therefore can't be Haenel Schmeisser police mag production.

They could quite possibly be original MITCHELL stainless steel magazines from the original production when they used the standard type P.08 magazine, and Triple-K may have been the producing sub-contractor for that.

That's my $0.02 story and I'm stickin' to it.

John,
the mags hold 8 rounds. I've tried it out on the range yesterday.
They work great.

If they are reproductions, who is gifted enough to manufacture such kind of nickled masterpieces in your opinion?
