Possibly the magazine is not tripping the hold-open. This seems to be common. Try the mags from the others in it and see if it holds open. If the owner won't let you swap in a mag that works, don't sweat it. Get a Mec-Gar for shooting and keep the duff mag for display.

I also have a 1937 S/42. They are cool.
