P08 Haenel magazine question

[dutchflecktarn]

Have here a P08 marked 'Haenel Schmeisser patent' magazine.
Question: Is this a pre-war commercial magazine?!, and what is the value?!

Thanks!!!

I had a blank bottom Haenel magazine but with the earlier pre-war body style with the pin at the rear. I think yours was a war-time example destined for armorer's supplies and ready for renumbering in the field.

Joew,
thanks for the reply!
But a bit strange that the maker stamped 'Schmeisser Patent'on a wartime military piece of equipment.
Normaly they will be marked with 'fxo' (Haenel) during the war!?

The magazine dates from 1941/42. As it is marked "Haenel" and not fxo I would imagine it was a spare meant for police use as Haenel was long the supplier of P08 magazines to the police in Nazi Germany.
