Hi Doug, The DE/63 should look like this. It seldom is this clear on hardened tools. Regards, Norm.

Norme, Tom
Thanks for your help, now I see what you are talking about.
I am looking for a tool and spare mag to purchase, my chance for finding one locally is slim to none.
Just for reference, there are two for sale on e-bay..., are they good ? Again, just for reference.
If you have one available and a good to period spare mag, let me know.
My luger is sn# 2470
ALL parts match #70
S/42
Magazine is 1988 aluminum base and an eagle/63

Hi Doug, Your gun's serial number most likely is followed by a suffix letter, visible on the front of the frame below the serial number, like the one shown. Military Lugers were numbered in blocks of 10,000, each one, except the first, followed by a suffix letter. To find a matching magazine (almost impossible), you need one with the same suffix. Regards, Norm.

Suffix letter is Y, magazine R, no +

Hi Doug, A DE/63 magazine in the same suffix block as your gun (y suffix) is probably the best you can hope to find. Even that is no easy task. Good luck! Norm.

Norme,
Thank you all for your advice. I have learned a lot here this week and boy can I feel myself getting drawn in.
