Welcome Tom,

I too am looking for matching mags. Finding a matching mag is like finding a needle in a haystack. Very diufficulat but possible. Once, I found one and I really got excited. The I found out that it was a repro and I was down for a long time. If your mags are wood bottom, then do not use them to go shooting with. They are valuable to someone. One may actualy match one of my guns.(crossed fingers). The wood dents easy and can become less valuable with time. Use repros for just shooting. For a good source of seaarching for a matching mag try:

Don Hallock

P.O. Box 370

Hobart, Washington 98025

(245) 432-6665

Every so often he publishes a list of authentic mags for sale or trade. I think the list is $7 or $10. He also has a book of previously reported mags. I think that that might go for $40. But ask him about it. He's a nice guy.

I hope to use the classified want list on this web site to help me find a treasure. Every luger collector has a few authentic mags sitting in a drawer someplace. Maybe, just maybe, you might hit. But searching for a matching mag is part of what collecting is all about. Thats part of the fun.
