Why makes this FXO magazine cost so much?

Just when you thought you had heard all the Luger collecting pitches, another one comes along. While looking at a 41byf/wood grip at a local shop, I was told how it was a "Black Widow" because it had a mag. with a black bottom. The salesaman continued to tell me and others that were there that they were called Black Widows because the early ones had grips and mag bottoms made from the bones of victims of the SS. So there you have it, not only is the mistery of the Black Widow solved, but we know what Bakelite is as well... I kept quiet and smiled, but really wanted to ask if the SS pilots carried these when they bombed Pearl Harbor.

The youth of today really scare me.
