Hi Gents (are there any lady members??)
Having a sort out & found two different magazines one I know is a waffenamt marked MP34 stick mag with the Portuguese stamp.
As I recall the Porto makers bought/ordered loads in the ealy 40`s hence the crest. They were made at the Steyr factory in Austria - hence the eagle. Not all of them made it to Porto because of a little fight the germans had picked with everyone else!!
So I think I know about one (now I know I`ll get put right!!).
Pics are of the unknown mag. I can only make out one stamp which looks likeU7 or Uz in a cicle??
It will not take a NATO 7.62/308 or 30-06 or 7.92. 7.62 x 39 too small?
I`m thinking Mannlincher/Carcano???
Anyway over to you
Cheers in advance.
Been away as nice orientallady knocked me off my Z. Nice rifde in Air ambulance & lovely nurses though!!
By the way anyone want to buy these mags - no idea as to value so open to offers as not my thing?
