Police Magazine info question

Edward you are correct that this mag bottom was never ground or reshaped. It was never stamped with a serial number. I think I picked up this mag at Ebay auction about 18 years ago.

Perhaps you can clarify something for me. I thought Luger's were typically delivered from the factory with 2 mags serialized to that Luger. Then Police armorers added number 1 and 2 to the mags and if a third mag was issued they stamped a 3 on an extra unmarked mag and usually stamped that Luger's serial number on it. If this was the protocol, then I wonder why my mag has a 2 but no serial, unless of course it was issued as a replacement for a lost #2 mag? Your thoughts or clarification? I guess this is why you said it was odd not to have a serial number. Thanks, Mark
