Matching magazine question

Hi Tony,
Welcome to the forum! German soldiers in the two World Wars had little consideration for the needs of 21st century Luger collectors and they mixed magazines without a second thought. The matching magazine survival rate varies from a low of about 2% for Imperial Lugers to a high of about 10% for Kreighoffs, which saw little service at the front. More accurate statistics are not possible due to the large number of faked magazines.
Regards, Norm
