Hello George,

Maybe I made a mistake in my description. We know that LP-08 magazines have a metal body, however, there are some small random cases where a WWI military P-08 or LP-08 will happen to have a blued magazine body which does not follow the standard rule. In such cases, the magazine has been reported to be matte blued after WWI in a northern European country such as The Netherlands or Denmark. I am not saying that all Lugers with such blued magazines served in a northern European country, but it is a possibility that it was in the region where such practices occurred.

It is logical that military Lugers which did not see much use in WWI still survived and continued their life/use into WWII where they were possibility captured by the allies or resistance forces. Such an example are those WWI Lugers which were found in France after WWII.
