I FOUND IT!! (Almost)

Hey Y'all,

I stopped into a local gun shop Yesterday afternoon looking for a WaA135 P.38 magazine. They didn't have one.

While I was there, and thiinking about magazines, I thought I'd ask if they had any Luger magazines. Why yes they did I was told.

So there I am looking through the box of Luger stuff, and low and behold I found a magazine only 11 numbers away from the serial number of my 1936 Luger!! The magazine is in great shape and is now sitting proudly in the pistol. Same letter block, correct proof marks, and correct finish. WOW!! I couldn't believe it - only 11 numbers away from my pistol!! It doesn't seem possible to get much closer than that!!

Had to share the story.

Take Care!
Tom

Tony, I would guess he was trying to help, if not, then tell them that yourself. This forum is monitored 24/7 and we like to keep things civil.
