I adquired this short magazine, at first I thought it was done not in the period, but now I looked closer and I'm not sure, maybe is an good one, the elevator is shortened and well done etc...Only the markings are bogus probably done to increase price, and fits well on an mp44.
It's my first short one so opinions please!

good question

I adquired this short magazine, at first I thought it was done not in the period, but now I looked closer and I'm not sure, maybe is an good one, the elevator is shortened and well done etc...Only the markings are bogus probably done to increase price, and fits well on an mp44.

Looks a lot like a 15 rd. I made out of an original that had the bottom crushed beyond repair. Not all that difficult to do.
Thinking the question never answered is whether any and all shorter than 30 rd. mags started life as 30 rd. and were cut off and the bottoms flanged for the floorplate.
Does a original stripper guide fit? I have at least one repro mag that will not accept a stripper guide. Yours could be a repro done long enough ago to pick up that patina.
