I think it's the original Czech Republic had a rifle stg 44 in his armament until 1950 ... and Mark is the lion In the E46 and it took over from the Czech army would be a better photo

Hi,

After the WW2, the tchecoslovaque republique used german machinery and they makes MP magazines with the german codes still graved on this recuperate machinery.
On the other side they stamps their own code plus the two chiffres of the year of fabrication.
Your Stg magazine is an after WW2 fabrication.
Regards.

I have an StG44 magazine it has been stamped with the Czech marking E lion and 46 but I am sure it is WW2 manufacture, it has the factory code qlw. The Czech stamping is different and lighter and I can't see why they would use the German factory code system if it were post war.

I have eight magazines all bought in the late eighties;
MKb42 4256
MKb42
MKb42 / uMP43
MKb42/MP43
MP43
MP44 CHN
MP44 bte
StG44

The Czech's continued to use a three letter code system for some time post war.

Yes but a friend had a StG45 magazine, same manufacturer but no Czech markings!
Also I believe the Czech made ones have Czech acceptance marks, mine hasn't.
