In the first photo, there is no magazine in the luger. This also seems to be the case in the last photo. Perhaps this is a safety measure for the photography session. The captions make a couple of seeming errors. The mention that HS magazines were adopted in 1939 but old aluminum bottom mags were still used at a later date omits the fact that many HS mags had aluminum bottoms. Also, was there a "western front" in 1939?
