I think that $800 for a repro mag is totally out of the question. What makes the seller think that his repro is worth that much? A good, original, navy mag might go in the $300-400 range. A good repro mag on the internet or at a good local gun store with be in the $20-30 area.

While the restoration and the size and location of the serial numbers are serious considerations, the situation that the mags are falling out of the gun while firing is more serious. The gun MUST function properly first. It ain't much good if you can't shoot it. So consideration towards an inspection period is necessary. Also, is there anything the seller demands like a "restocking fee" upon return? How reputable is this dealer? Will he actually give you back your money? I have had sellers tell me that they would and then refuse to take the gun back. Or that they would, but at a greatly reduced price.
