Got my first Luger Today!

Adam, welcome to the forum. Your price you paid was a bit high, but not unreasonable. I can't see the other magazines to see if any are newer or older.

After a while you can spot a luger mag from across 2 aisles at the gun show, at least I can.

Please post pictures here on the forum and not on photobucket or the like.

A camera phone is not the best but to tell the truth, their quality is probably as good as hand held cameras from just a few years ago.

Take some more, use plenty of light and do some close ups.

Does the hold open work with the other magazines? If so, then its not the hold open, but the magazine.

The action locks back fine with all 3 of the other, so it must be the magazine. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow, should be able to get plenty of light outside. Sorry about not posting the picture through the forum.

And I'm glad to hear that I didn't overpay too much, I did searching some online searching before I bought it but the only values I could find on some other forums for import marked ones were threads from a couple years ago and even then couldn't find a real clear value.

About how much would a good price on it have been? And thanks a lot for your help!
