I took a friends word re the Hong Kong mag.! Silly me; on the narrow side of the mag it shows "Made In Switzerland". It has what looks like a styalized "P" at the bottom under the "Made In...". Does that mean anything to anybody? Thanks for your interest here.
Is there a way to tell if a gun has been nickel plated or is original? I'm a novice, as you may be able to tell (grin!!). I saw on one of the Forums someone refer, in passing, to a nickel WW2 luger. Since it's marked S/42, can I contact Mauser to see if they did make a few? If there's No Way that this is original I might as well stop using up you nice folks time.
Again, thanks guys.
