Is the Navy wood bottom correct or are these now being duplicated?

I hesitate to purchase any wood botton mag anymore. With repo bottoms eaisly purchased and a set of stamps and some aging a very expensive mag is produced. This holds true for many items in the military collector field. Just think how a small waffen stamp will increase the value of a pistol. David

Might just be the photo, but the Crown/M shape does not look quite right and the style/font of the numbers does not, either :

The mag is bogus.

The crown is floating waaay off the "M" and the numbers are sooo clean.
