Mike and John S.,
Thank you both for the assessment of my Luger and the magazine. I hate to say this but the wood on the magazine appears to be repaired by a glue joint. So I believe that the wood on the bottom was split in the past. I guess that shoots the value down now. Oh well. That's funny that you were concerned about the wood condition and that sure must of been the case with this magazine much earlier. I guess I should still be concerned about using it.
Where can one look for a more modern magazine for just shooting? I'll look around the internet. I bought some ammo at Walmart today.
Also, I guess that the pistol was originally WWI German Navy as well before it was "cleaned" and made available for the US market.
John, of course Winchester is not far. Do you know of any gun shows in the region over the next few months? I'd be interested in seeing collections of Lugers perhaps yours if so.
Thanks again,
Jim
