Schmeisser Haenal Magazine???

[Redcoat3340]

I'd never really looked hard at the magazine in my 1938 S/42 P08, just figured it was a "period" mag.

I just did. (Note: I bought 2 Mecgar mags so I'd have a few when I shoot.)

So what did I find? It says (see pics) Schmeisser and under that Haenal. Plus serial numbers: a 2, then 4993 and under that an 84.

The mag is in decent shape, but there's a loss of plating in the spot evident in the photo. It works just fine.

Clearly this isn't a Mauser mag and I read where Schmeisser made mags for Lugers. I guess this is one on 'em.

My P08 is a shooter and the Mecgar mags work just find. Is the Schmeisser mag something I should hang on to or is it too just a "shooter" and I should use it like any other magazine? What have I got?
