I would rather buy a luger that merely has a "correct" magazine than one that has a "matching" magazine.

It just does not seem important enough for me to pay that extra $ 200-400 added to the gun's price for a matching clip...and then there are those rigs with 2-3 matching magazines... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

With the presence of blank magazine bottoms and custom die stamps for sale at gun shows and elsewhere, and cottage craftsmen that will make up what ever you are looking for; it just is not worth it...

I think it more reasonable for a luger that is 60-100 years old to have been separated from its factory issued magazine(s) a long time ago; so getting a "correct" magazine has now become my buying "comfort zone"...JMHO...
