Recently seen a (unknown to me, never heard about it..) Eagle / 154 acceptance on aluminium magazine bottom. Any comments?

Jan..... It would have been from a "G" date (1935) S/42. That was the only year the use of the E/154 is recorded.

Jan, of the 55,000 or so G-Date Lugers, the E/154 Waffenamt Marks show up on about 24,000 pistols. These G-Date Lugers are very interesting!

Actually, I do not believe that the G-Date P08s were ever stamped on the right receiver with an Eagle 154 acceptance mark. Rather, in additon to B-90, S-91, S-92, one will find a W-154 stamp. E-211 and,on late G-dates, DE-63 will found on the pistols. I have seen magazines with the all of the above acceptance stamps but do not believe that I have ever seen a magazine stamped as Jan's with that type of eagle and 154.

For what ever relevance it might have, I have a G-Date C suffix stamped W-153, S-92. It has a nickled aluminum base mag stamped 3242 f + DE63, which is proper for a late G-Date, however, I need a W-154 for my pistol. So if anybody out there . . . .

Bill,

Here are pictures of the two (2) E/154 acceptance stamped magazines that I have with my G Luger rig.

Lloyd's pics got me off my butt and after looking through some of my data I found what he, dave and Frank were very aware of and what I was not.

So, I guess I could also be looking for a DE 154 mag.

Always something to learn.

Jan,
I've magazine serial number 1009c which also has acceptance mark of 154... I can't make out the other mark cause of old eyes. But it appears to be a "241"....

I believe you will find a drooped eagle 154 marked magazine with a G-S/42 Luger between the approximate serial range of 7900a - 800d. The drooped eagle 211 magazines are very hard to find. I have on recorded these G-Date magazines between 362d and 5207d. Note the ending transition of the DE-154 and the beginning of the SE-211 (352d and 800d).

Hi Jan,

I made up a little display of my DE154 mags and loaded them on my web site. Here is the link.

Leon:

Thanks for the Droop Eagle 211 pictures. I was wondering about the "SE-211" (Stick Eagle) markings mentioned by silvereagle as I had not seen those either.

 

[Jan]

Oh Boys! Thanks for a lot of brand new informations! Jan

Hi Garfield,

Sorry about the wrong pictures. It was late last night and I had been up since very early so I just didn't interpret your message properly. Senior moment, you know. HAHA.

I don't have nor have I observed a SE211 mag. I think that might have been a typo on silvereagle29's part. Maybe he will respond and verify or correct.

Regards, Leon

Your correct, SE-211 was a typo. Drooped eagle 211 is correct. No stick eagle magazines until the - r - block of 1937. The transition period (352d - 800d) describes an approximate serial number and suffix range where you could find either a DE-154 or DE-211 magazine acceptance mark. Thanks for pointing out my error.
