Mystery Luger magazine
 

Gentlemen,

This magazine was in an Erfurt 1918 that came to this country with an SOE-agent during WW2. I do not know for certain if the magazine was present at that time or if it was matched with the pistol at a later stage. I have never seen anything like it. It does look kind of home-made and there are no markings present. It also feels lighter than the real thing. Does anybody have a clue?

It has the earmarks of a comercially manufactured postwar reproduction.

Very strange.. perhaps a slightly modified stamped magazine tube with a home made mag bottom and follower??

Balder, Definately a repro. It would appear to be a 20+ year old Triple K. TH

It looks like a older Triple K I have .

Definitely a cheap repro... most likely mexican made... I think triple K had their original Luger mags made there... if you get up close, you would think that they were made by convicts with files... :D

John, As you know the early 3K mags were marked "Mexico". Now they're made in San Diego by the same Mexicans. I told a customer of mine who has a buiness in Roswell, N.M. that he should mark his products "made in USA by aliens". Probably correct, if you think about it. TH
