For the Radom collectors out there, do all original magazines have the e/189 proof on them?
Thanks

The unmarked are the most common. The next most common is the eagle 189 base. The least common are the phosphate 623 marked body. I have 4 of those and looking for 2 more for my phosphate pistols.

There are some prewar versions not exactly how rare those are to find.

Polish pre-WW2 mags are highly sought after. They typically have a oval G2 or D2 on forward, underside of the floorplate. In addition, often one will see a letter ("k" with a line"), on lower spine. Early German occupation mags also have such letters, but lack Polish acceptance on the floorplate. As for E/189 accepted mags, from observations I believe they start showing up in the latter half of first alphabet series P35(p) production and also prevalent as spare/replacement mags as well.
