magazine origin...
hello to all.... I've looked at the pic's really closely... and to be truthful, I really can't tell.... If it came down to what i think from what i see... I believe the magazine bottom to be a replacement at probably some early stage of it's life... I'm basing this opinion on just a very few observations... One, the style of the radius on the knobs appears as neither DWM or Erfurt... kind of inbetween... two, the fit to the shell is not good either in the front spine area, (common,) or the rear spine area, (Not common) but most importantily, the side grain in just about every original manufacture magazine bottom, whether DWM or Erfurt, slants to the rear approx. 30 to 45 degrees... this one would appear vertical..??... I'm not making any conclusion, because there was a huge range of variance... but those are the things i see that are glaring... ....Best to all, til...lat;'r...GT
