Mag ID?

I recently got this mag. There are no markings at all other than the numbers on the aluminum base. Any ID info would be appreciated.

This is a Weimar era Police magazine. It is the primary magazine for the police rigs. The spare would have been marked number 2.

I'm thinking it is a post war East German police magazine.

VOPO for sure.

So VOPO it is! Any ideas on what these are worth in the US?

I don't think it is VOPO because VOPO era new manufacture and reworked mags usually have a number stamped on the spine or near the base -- my cloudy memory says it is a "1001" or something similar to that... perhaps some one else can be more specific. I would agree with Alanint that it appears to be a primary police magazine.

John et al, I've seen many of these DDR mags without the "1001" marking on the side. Other indicators are the off-center bottom retaining pin and the large die set numbers on the bottom. TH
