Hi, I'd like to welcome you to the forum by name, forum rule require that you provide one. You have inherited a beautiful Luger, very few Imperial Lugers have survived with their two original issue magazines. It's interesting that one of the magazine bases is beechwood, while the other is the more commonly seen walnut. Walnut was in short supply during the latter part of the war, and beechwood was used as an expedient replacement.
Regards, Norm
