The bases look like the ones that came with the 2/1001 DDR mags. Just had an addition added to them. These are very good mags but all made after WW2. Bill

I have always admired the workmanship and construction of these mags. The lips are beefy and stiff, and I'll bet it's their ability to stay in tune that makes these mags work so well. I wonder what they'd cost today, compared to MecGar!

I was browsing on ebay just looking at what was there and saw this magazine. Looks like a nickel body but the aluminum bottom markings. They look like they are raised kinda like the ones originally in this thread. Im I correct in this thinking or is this a correct bottom and complete magazine. Price wise, Wow! $475. That cant be right I would hope.

The more I looked at it, the base of it did look kinda old. The close up picture of the stampings looked kinda funny, but I saw another magazine that was a simson or Krieg. that had a very distinctive stamp that I think goes with that style gun on there as well. The close up of it kinda had that same look at the edges of the stampings. I think its just me not use to seeing the aluminum bottoms. The Krieghoff is what I think the magazine was, was even more than this one. But I guess for that gun its probably correct
Im still learning here, so work with me. But reading threads here makes me look a little deeper at items that do interest me, or just browse at. |

Just saying the mag is in bad condition..the magazine pin hole on one side is ovaled/torn out. The mag seems too late for the body.
At any rate IMO it's a $50-75 magazine in it's condition. But good luck to the guy!

you can't compare different makers fonts with any degree of accuracy and even then, the letters and numbers would change over time, let alone any acceptance markings

Heres the Kriegoff I ws talking about. Looking at the Eagle/6 on it close, some of the edges are a little raised / sharp on the left side. Its probably just the fact it is aluminum. But even this one after looking is actually cheaper than the nickel boby one. Is that the prices them kinda magazines go for. I never really looked at prices on them and I saw that last night and I just started looking closer. Pronably looking and trying to find something wrong I guess. But after seeing the Krieghoff the edges are almost the same way. So I'd guess there are correct. But wow, they aint cheap. |

Even looking at the SN on the bottom of the Krieghoff looked like it was stamped over though. Is that common?

Sorry! I just noticed that that they are 2 different stamps between simson and krieghoff. But that wasnt reallt what I was looking at. Reading through the beginning of the thread and what alan commented on:

But I'm glad you pointed the difference between the eagle/6 and eagle/2. cause thats a new one on me. Still learning and asking questions so I dont do a dumb thing later in life when buying these guns. |
