Hello. I am new to Luger's and new to the forum, but I have a question about finding a replacement for a broken hold open spring on my 1918 P-08. I'm sure this is a common problem, but I have yet to find a resource for this small spring as an NOS part or reproduction.

Is there a person or firm that reproduces these? Currently the recoil of firing makes the toggle stay open after each shot even though the magazine has a round above the follower. If I remove the hold open latch the gun functions perfectly, but doesn't stay locked open on the last round.

Thanks,
Smith_tiger

PS Is this holster original German Army?
