SOLD - Rare 42 Code Field Replacement Luger Magazine: Eagle 655

Description

7/5/24 - This is an original WW2 wartime production field replacement Luger magazine from the Mauser factory. The magazine is extremely desirable due to the aluminum base which is "42" code stamped for field replacement. Also desirable about this example is the Eagle 655 military proof stamp on the lower portion of the base. This was the later Mauser stamp used towards the end of Luger production at the Mauser factory. Interestingly, the magazine base has no serial number, nor is there evidence of ever having been serial number stamped. Instead, there's a trace of a 2nd eagle 655 military proof, which is likely a factory error. A very interesting and desirable example. Excellent condition with beautiful original bluing throughout the tube and a fully functional spring.
