Bing, 20 Round Detachable Magazine

[mauser1908]

Hey everyone, this is one that I've had for some time, but never got around to posting it. Anyway, it's a Bing detachable magazine. Trench mags are one of those accessories that were produced in enormous numbers, like luger drums and rifle dust covers. The survival rate during and post war was low, which is why you rarely see them. Per Storz, Bing, combined with Junghans and Scharlach probably made around a million of these things. Bing being the most common of the three, at 272,000.

They were an early pioneer in stamped metal. I've got a few accessories with their mark.

Awesome magazine, Sam! Bing is interesting, I know they made helmets during the war.

Is this the same Bing that made carburetors for BMW airhead motorcycles?

They were a model steam engine manufacturer, both in the form of toys and model steam turbines. My dad collects these and might actually have a few. They were close to scale models of the real thing.

If you have the time, could we see an image of the mark?
