Magazine Question for Walther Expert

wisgro1

Recently purchased a 7.65, 8 round magazine for my Walther PP. I have a few mags that research tells me were manufactured pre war and during WWII. After months of research I have not found a clue about this latest 7.65 mag. Sides and bottom are blued. The follower is not blued and is very shiny. The mag has no name, no banner, no markings of any type and no evidence that markings have been removed. It has a black finger rest but not a typical steel bottom. Instead it has what I call a steel shim. The finger rest slides onto the shim and both must then be slid into place simultaneously or they come apart. I drew a sketch of the shim and saved it as a jpg. Took photos of the mag all saved as jpg but don't see a way to attach files to this post.

You must resize your photos (800x600 works well) & upload to a photo hosting site.

If it's not marked, going to be rough to ID. PP's were made starting in the late 20's. Many licensed and knock-off copies, have been made over the years. Everywhere from Turkey to China. Replacement magazines, probably are even more common than the pistols. Any competent sheet metal worker, could make a mag.

Probably and early Manurhin or Interarms, both postwar.
