This one is just about in the middle of their production run.(in the 96xxxx) Just about every piece of this HSc was phosphated and the finish has held up well. I have had it for 38 years. Very nice shooter!




Here are the two mags side by side.



Here is a picture of three mags. The one on the far right is a Mauser stamped war mag, the one in the middle is a French
made mag with the half moon rib.  The third on the left well that's one of those aftermarket mags that only hold 7.





I can rework the aftermarket mag to hold 8.

Warbird:
You forgot two other types of HSc Magazines.  From our book, "The Mauser HSc Pistol":

"There were three major magazine types used throughout production:  the earliest ones (1940 to 1942) had a machined follower and flat bottom or floorplate stamped with the Mauser banner (trademark) on it; the banner was subsequently discontinued leaving just a plain, flat floorplate; and the final type (1943 to 1945) had a machined or stamped follower and blank sheet metal floorplate that was indented near the front."

And finally: "Finger extension magazines were offered as an option for the HSc.  These used the standard magazine housings fitted with a special 2-piece blued sheet metal floorplate assembly that extended the pistol grip length."
