What's this P08 magazine

I don't think you overpaid by too much, Tom. It's definitely a post-war, knockoff body. The garish fake ivory bottom makes me think "Mexican" for some reason. Although this one is not without a certain charm, I usually avoid spot-welded Luger mags. But if GT can git 'er runnin' for ya, that's a big plus.

Nothing original or aftermarket repro fits this mag? You pretty much need a part or two that can be modified to make it run again.
If you look at it a bit closer, you'll see there are no provisions for either an original follower or even the spring guide on the mag shell to fit into?
So the spring pictured won't go and an original replacement won't go as well. Now, a Wolfe fxo spring, or an original fxo spring, or a P.38 spring will all work with some slight modification. The bottom will be the real struggle, but i think i can solve that delimma as well...
