* The "fxo" mags are also period correct; although, slightly early for the "y" block. IMHO, they would not be incorrect as Mauser was using up Al. bottoms as they were introducing the black plastic versions.

Thanks for the information.
I wasn't sure about the side plate inside number because of what I read on this forum about the inside number being one higher then the first digit of the serial number. I thought possibly it should be 2.

Did Mauser stop numbering the magazines with the introduction of the ones with black plastic bottoms?
Best regards,
Mike
