Magazine ID Help

MAUSER88 · 05-23-2021, 05:43 PM

I'm thinking this is some type of renumbered Police magazine. Numbers are diffidently stamped over another set that is partially ground. Not sure if the proof stamp is a sunburst or not.

Any help is appreciated.

The fit of the aluminum bottom into a pre 1937 mag tube is a bit sloppy and doesn't appear to be factory. The large die set serial number could be either Weimar Police replacement or post WW2 East German Police. Need a clearer photo to ID the acceptance mark. TH

It's a standard police magazine issued at the unit level of a Landjaegerei(rural) police unit. Three issue mags are unique to Landjaegerei units. The third magazine was always procured seperately by the unit from Haenel-Schmeisser and numbered "3".

George, Unfortunately the mag shown above was not made by Haenel and is not the Schmeisser design. TH
