I picked up 3 Mec-Gar mags yesterday at the Nation's Gun Show.

Oh, and a so-called black widow Byf 1941. My first Luger. All matching, but I suspect the slide plate was force-fit because the take down lever is brutally hard to open and close, with deep scoring. Also black bakelite grips, and I confirmed with hot needle test and close comparisions to the sticky on them. Firt and finish is, I'd say, a solid "B" with some wear. Magazine is NOT an FXO, but a more rare version, but I'll post plenty of pix in a separate thread in the near future...
