Costanzo in his proof ID# 118, calls it a Springfield armory "flaming bomb". As I hear it, there is much debate over this, I sure someone more versed then I will log in.

tac,

Thas a pretty easy one. Nickeled-steel magazine shell, brushed finish. Unmarked dark wood base. Goes for all 1900-1906 American Eagle Lugers in .30 cal.

Magazines for the 1902-1906 9mm models are stamped "Cal. 9mm" in a scriptic font long-ways on the magazine bottom.

These are also the mags for the Commercial (non-AE) versions of these pistols.

I sold my M1900 AE to a fellow LF member...both mags were nickle finish, wooden with a small flambing bomb proof on each...on the squarish end of the magazine bottom.

Tac & Pete, I too have owned a few early wood bottomed mags with the "flaming bomb" (actually the astrological symbol for Taurus, used as an inspector's mark). I believe that these were early DWM armour's spare mags, comparable to the later metal bottom Mauser's marked with the 42 or S/42 code. Since the US test (and most other M1900) lugers have this same symbol in the front frame well) it is possible, that these were the spare mags sold during that period, as some collectors insist. TH
