Mag ID's?

Hi folks.
Not much info, but can anyone ID any of these mags? I believe the far left is a Mecgar.
Thanks.

can you have larger (much larger) and from base and both sides.

I don't have them yet. I hope this pic works out better.

the one to the far right looks like the Triple K. I bought one for my father at least 25 years ago at Krasnes in San Digeo in hopes of getting him take his luger out for a little shooting... he just squirled it away in his foot locker with the gun... still have it in the original plastic bag.

Thanks. Halfway to enlightenment! Two more to go.

jonnyc, if none of these have been tampered with, they are all post war versions. I can't identify them, but they all have differences with war time production.

I think all 3 on the left are Triple-K variations, but from different eras. I have a 1972 Triple-K catalog here, sadly without magazine photos, but with some cover art that displays magazines with properties I see in both the middle ones. In 1972, the magazine was $6.00

The catalog gave a general retail value of the pistol of some $60.00

Triple-K is derived from the first names of Kim, Kurt and Karen.

The one on the left looks like the replacement mags sold by Gun Parts Corp back in the 1980s, although the original manufacturer is unknown..

The one on the left is a MecGar, without doubt. Mauser also used MecGar as a supplier in the later postwar years (mid 1980s to late 1990s) when the other magazines (and bodies) were no longer being produced in Holland. Interarms used MecGar as a supplier as well.

Thanks all. Interesting to see that KKK changed their production methods so much over time.
