Interesting also that it has only one retaining pin in the bottom, which seems to me to be a sign of an earlier mag. Between the wars manufacture sounds right to me.

Ever the bastion of zinc alloy use, Erma toggle pistols all had cast Zamak bottoms. The earlier models of their .22s also used a stub that sticks up at the back end of their pot metal followers to catch the breech block--a very rudimentary hold-open. The pistol snaps shut when the mag is removed. Erma mags for the P.08 have plastic bottoms and steel followers, and are of very good quality and performance.
