Like other WWII German Police handguns, was it the practice to number the magazines to the guns?  I'm not sure I've seen numbered magazines for Police marked guns (E/L or E/F).  As a reference, there is a very nice E/L HSc for sale on one of the collector sites with two matching spine-numbered magazines.  I've never  seen a complete police rig like this before.  Do original WWII examples exist?

Hello "Like-Old-Guns.... I too saw the Mauser HSC Police issue auction containing the (2) marked magazines. From the serial number range, this gun was manufactured in year 1944 as a Variation 2. Note they are "unmarked except for the last (3) three digits of the serial number. I also have never seen these marked but perhaps was done, later on in the war, by that particular police unit. I have early E/L Police pistols from early 1941 & 1942 and they only contain the regular magazine with the "Mauser Banner", on the bottom. Maybe the site Moderator has further info on this. For everyone to see, I am attaching pic's of this referenced auction & gun. I hopes this info might help some.    Alan In Florida

Alan, thanks.  First I've seen the last three digits on the toe.  Very nice.

I have HSc police "L" serial number 857655 with the complete serial number on plain bottom mag plus complete serial number stampled on the police E/B holster.  My magazine is marked "2" as the second or spare mag.  I see these have no such markings or holster.
