Is this a navy magazine? It has the X that you see on Third Reich era Navy magazines which leads me to believe it might be.

Hi Ed,

Any idea of what it might be as far as Weimar? You are the only one that has said anything about it on this or the other board. Surely some else has seen this or something similar before.

Thanks

Mostly from the fact that a serial number has been crossed out and another added.

This occured mainly in the post WW1 Weimar era, when pistols were in short supply and hundreds were renumbered for police and army units.
