new Luger collector question
 

This is probably a simple question, but I cannot find an answer to it-- Why are some Luger magazine bottoms pinned through the button and others are pinned to the side of the button? Which is the correct location for the bottom pin? Also I just received a 1918/1920 Luger for my 55th birthday from a big estate sale. It is supposed to be unit marked on the front of the grip. The markings are- "9./J.R.6.29." Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks all.http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...psb0151253.jpghttp://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...psd85824bc.jpghttp://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...ps471a9727.jpghttp://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...ps56c49b89.jpghttp://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...psbe2c9e28.jpghttp://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5f5f45c9.jpg

My guess is 9th Infantry Regiment, company 6, weapon 29. Welcome aboard.

short answer is that yours would have a wood bottom and the pinned ones were WW2 era
