Question re Flaming Bomb Mag

I'm interested is finding out about the usage and history of the so called 'flaming bomb' I assume it is the one that came with my 1900 US Test luger #6780~~ Eric

As has been mentioned in the past, the "flaming bomb" is merely a DWM inspector's mark that might show up on any early Luger or part. Your magazine may or may not have been issued with your Luger as the marking has nothing at all to do with US Ordnance. Folks like to pair flaming bomb magazines with Test Lugers, but it is not any more correct than just a plain unmarked wood bottom magazine. Nice magazine by the way.
