The problem is that the spring in too large to fit inside the magazine body.
Seller said it was OK before he took it apart.
So, what is it? There are no markings on magazine body,

If the mag bottom is held in by a single pin, it is likely an early mag. I'll bet it has two pins, though, because of the plastic follower, so post-war most likely. You'd use it in a chromed Luger with ivory grips, lol. Pics, plz. Get help from a younger family member or neighbor.
