Newbie !!!
Hi everyone,first time here !!!
Just got my first Luger (will add fotos asap) from a friend.... 1918 DWM all matching numbers including mag, in a very good condition, including 1918 Erfurt issued holster and tool. I have a spare magazine with wooden bottom S/N 6191 that doesn't match the weapon and Alu bottom mag S/N 3514. Is there a list of "spare"mags anywhere as would be a dream to find a 3514 Imperial mag?! Thanks for a great forum:rockon: |

welcome to the forum!
Pictures are needed, to see if you have a police gun or post-war Vopo - as a WW1 would have a wood magazine base, so it shouldn't have an aluminum base, but a wood base :) There is a listing of magazine numbers here on the forum from people trying to match up magazines. |
Hi Paul and welcome to the forum. Search the site for "magazine matching" and you should find the postings.
Congratulations on your new Luger. Post pictures taken in shaded natural light. Use a tripod and eliminate camera shake. Get pictures with enough in focus detail to identify the markings and their characteristics. You'll find a great deal of good reference material here to start studying. Marc |

Apparently you've got quite a nice Luger, I'd like to see some close up pictures but from your words it could be a collectible. You can shoot it of course, :nono: BUT, please consider that it only takes one round for something unforeseen to occur, and the monetary and historical value may plummet like a rock, it's your choice. Best regards. |

A new guy is not going to get your "sarcasm", JMHO. |

but I'm a little confused. If it is matching with a matching magazine, which one matches? The 1918 would have had an original wood base magazine, so the aluminum is not an "original Match" - if that is what you are saying- but it is way better than none, IF it is legit. You have to post pictures to show us!:) |

Welcome to the forum, Paul.
Houston, we have a problem... as Don points out. Occasional discussions about the odds of finding a second mag remind me of the story about the guy who wouldn't fly because the millions-to-one odds against a bomb on the plane were not sufficient to reassure him. After learning the even more remarkably astronomical odds against two bombs being aboard, he now flies everywhere--and brings his own bomb. Anyway, we await whatever pics you can muster--nice juicy closeups of numbers and proofs! |
