MS magazine 7X57 on Ebay
|
Here is a (M1950?) Schoenauer magazine in 7X57, misidentified by seller as being from a M1903.
We know better, of course, by the guide ring (not present on M1903) and that M1903 were all 6.5X54 calibre.

Pre-WWII Mannlichers used to have 2 holes at the bottom of magazine, not one like this later version on Ebay.

From 1939 Stoeger - magazine parts are 39 - 48:
