G/K43 20 Round magazines

[Peter C]

hi,
Okay!
if this magazine is a german prototyp, it is possible that the body is not marked.
but on a G43 20 round magazine, the elevator and the bottom are same of a 10 round!

if 20 round is german prototyp why there parts are not marked.

Yes, the follower and floorplate are the same as the standard 10 round magazine. Below is an assortment of 22 G/K43 mags that are maker marked (aye, gcb, acw, axv & rqs). None have marked followers and only 5 have floorplates that are marked "k".

Do you have any pictures showing the marks that you believe should be present on the follower or floorplate?

your are the best!

hello carles,
yes me too, you know me!

Peter C really has very good knowledge of the G43 magazine and apparently it is his or one of its specialties.

Although I have 4 G43 (2 duv 44, 1 ac 44 and 1 bcd) and 14 magazine (aye / gcb), I never really watched my loader!

MP38/40 as shippers and MP44 are well marked on all their parts.

I just thought those of G43 were the same!

And in fact this is not the case because on my 14 magazine only 3 have small "k ".

Now the 20-shot magazine Peter is not able to provide irrefutable evidence that this piece is German WW2.

I am entitled to my opinion, thank you to respect it.
