Unusual magazine

Hi Herbert,
It is highly unlikely that your blued magazine with the wooden bottom is correct. Blued tubes did not start showing up until the "M" block of the 1936 S/42's, so that dates the tubes at the earlist as 1936. The latest that I know of a wooden base was the Obendorf 1934 Mausers. The serial number being sanded and varnished just adds to opinion of it being messed with and non-original. Guess it is your call, but it is very doubtful in my opinion.
