I just bought a BYF marked, 42 date P-08, apparently original finish (salt blue), un-numbered black plastic grips, etc. Black Widow I presume, matching #6305 c. It came with 2 numbered but mis-matched alum. base mags., holster, etc.
Several questions:
My reference materials show that this one should have come with un-numbered black base magazines marked FXO and P.08. Do you agree with that? And if so, is there a suggested source for these (LugerDoc perhaps?), and what is the short term used to describe these mags? FXO?
I also will need a correct loading tool. Any special marks required to make one correct for this model?
Thank you for your help. I would take pictures but it looks about like any other dark Luger.
