Hi all,

An unusual find on a Dutch site for firearms- a matched 1918 DWM P08 with 2 matching mags for sale by a local collector- asking $1500 for
- P08 as described above
- Nr 1, 2 matching mags
- replica holster
- 300 rounds reloaded ammo

The gun and mags look "OK" from the photos- but I am questioning the magazines- the bases of both seem to be Aluminum; from the photo they are a matched pair- last 2 digits "23" - same as the last two digits on the visible sn's on the gun. Were original matched mags made with Aluminum bases? I thought magazines were made with wood (walnut?) bases.

Of course, I want to go see this gun before I do anything.... hopefully do a simple field strip....

What do you all think?
Thanks!!!
