I have a curved magazine for the MP5. The magazine is marked, "9mmx19" then below "HJ". What does the "HJ" mean? Thanks

H=7
But J was the proof mark for the Ulm factory.

Doesn't make sense

Clearly marked "HJ" and not a 7

West German Proof Date Code. The only one it could possibly be, would be 1978. As "HH" was 1977 and "HK" was 1979.
