Dave, The early magazine springs were not as strong as the later ones. Early ones were simply a round coil. Later springs filled the whole mag body and were zig zag. Apparently the Germans found something lacking in the early design.

In Luger malfunctions, I always get a reliable mag first to see if that fixes the problem.
Then work you way down the checklist untill you are patching the kitchen cieling...

Glad you got it!
