Hi Kriuks,

They are post-war. The wartime mags never had the Walther banner on them.

Hi Kriuks, The last one is WW2 Regards Tobysauer.

Hi Kriuks,

Tobysauer is correct. Also, it was inspected by Walther and made after about March of 1943. The small "v" after the P.38 means that the tube was extended by 2mm from the previous design.

I knew that the "v" came around march 1943, but I never knew what change had been done to mags with that marking. Nice to know

But still the question is open to me: is the V short for Verbessert or Verlängert?
