When the DDR rebuilt PO8s they usually added 2 matching mags, most marked on side 2/1001 rather than E/37, but some WW2 mags were recycled. TH

My particular pistol appears to have the original barrel with two digit ser. no and land diameter stamped on bottom. Barrel while not pristine is pretty decent. Unfortunately grips are wooden replacements the gun came with one magazine that is marked fxo and PO8
