Magazine ID and value and tool help

campfooey · 04-26-2015, 09:20 PM

I have what I think is a nickel mag. 7325 S it has two eagle 6 on the bottom and one eagle 6 on back its in really good shape but is discolored. Any help with what its for and year and value would help. I also would like to know what the proper tool for my 41 byf luger would be the one I have is eagle 655.

It is a mid-range Simson magazine (I collect Simson items) - the 'S' is unknown what it really is, except for Simson, I have believed for a long time that it is semi commercial like for police or private purchase, but not positive.

Early triangle S you then saw later just the S

I have paid $100-$125 for a rougher mag and up to $250 or $300 for a mint example.

This I am afraid is in rougher shape for the body, although the base is fairly nice from these pictures.

Hello from another cheddarhead !!! St Croix Falls here . Anywayz the E655 tool is fine with a 41 byf . Late 41 byf's went to E135 proofs but with the MANY more E655 tools around it is a good chance they overlapped the early E135 marked guns . JMHO on that . Your mag is desireable and " REVSHOP" has one on epay as we speak for $245 . It actually doesn't look horrible but I would not buy it on principle . Yours I would buy though so if it isn't spoke for already shoot me a PM
