M.w. 24.

I picked up an artillery Luger recently and it came with this spare magazine (+ symbol on the mag base) marked M.W. 24., then 9158, and another set of markings which were crudely crossed out (can't really decipher them, unfortunately).

Really need a clear picture to figure out what you have M.W. should stand for Minen-Werfer. I'm used to seeing this unit mark on a LPO8 but not on the magazine.

Trying to see if my other camera does better but my LP-08 (I uploaded pictures in the Artillery Luger sub-forum) has no unit markings itself.
