On my way back to my office, I stopped at a small, local shop. I just wanted to see what had come in since I was last there. While the clerk was busy, I dug through the "MISC" box to see what I could find. I left with the following:

1: JVD marked P38 magazine in fine condition. No other markings on it. I now have a matched set for my only (CYQ) P38.

2: FXO marked P08 magazine. Excellent condition with black plastic base. E37 wafs. Just show the tiniest bit of wear.

Forgetting the JVD magazine as I "needed" that one, Is the FXO proper for either of my Lugers? I have a 1937 S42 and a 40/42. If I remember right, they began to make the black plastic FXO in 1941.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Eric.... There is more than one school of thought about just when the black bottom mag came in. A popular theory is that they began about the "Q" block of the 41 byf production. I think there have been a couple of discussions about this on this forum. Try doing a search....it should bring up any posts. I think most would agree that it was certainly a replacement mag and could have ended up with about any Luger....
