what does the 98F stand for?

These are running around 75-100 each?

Both mags are OK. 98E is the maker, I believe it is Steyr, Austria, later KUR. Have a look at this article in Claus Espeholt's web:

Nothing special, these "flat sided" ones. They were early made, as far as I know until mid 1940. These beadings are just for a better stability.

Referring to the Codes me6_130 is right. 98E = Steyr Daimler Puch AG, Österreich ; kur stands for the same manufacturer but later code.

Hope that helps.

thanks guys... Was my price window about right...70-100? each?

I'm selling some 55 eu-ribbed, 65 eu-non ribbed. That would be in $ 75-88.

Actual selling price of the MP-40 mags here in the U.S. seems to be anywhere from $40 to $60 for nice clean ones with original finish.
