Unusual magazine

Note I did not say HS I said Schmeiser. It is stamped on the spine running across the spine not vertically up the spine. The remains of
Sch----er show and the head and tail of the broad arrow below. If Haenel was above it may have worn off, lots of use on this one. So I do not know if it was Haenel Schmeiser or just Schmeiser The magazine tube may well have been replaced but the bottom has been noted as authetic police by several observers and most think it goes with the mag. It could just as likely be a mating of a stainess extruded mag with an existing wood bottom of a bent up magazine.

However, you should note how ready you are to say this mag is wrong (which it may or may not be) when you are so convinced the blued mag is right. I would say it is problematic whether either are correct unless further matching numbered guns with a definitive history turn up. Waffenamp USA turns out lots of mags and my immeadiate reaction to matching numbers is a question.

How does Krause know the blued mags are imperial period when he has only the magazine and not the pistol?? I am not being a wiseacre here, I am curious
