New Member w/New Luger

Hello all...Just wanting to say Hello as a new member. I am a collector of Colt SAA's and GI 1911's and have recently been interested in WW2 weapons from Germany.

I recently bought a captured FN P35 and just bought my first Luger:

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=155746622

I know that this is not a high condition gun that more senior collectors would be interested in, but I was intrigued by the entire rig itself, the fact that it looked "used" and that the capture papers tell a story about it...

I know I paid a little too much for it ($1600) but it came with a desireable W154 stamped tool (that is being traded for a 'correct' E63 + $$$) and also came with an UNMARKED fxo magazine (that isn't shown in this auction) I am looking to get more information about this magazine, but so far it looks like I got lucky with a pretty rare magazine that I am going to sell as I will just keep the one shown in the auction with the gun.

Hope you guys liked looking and reading my story, and if any of you have any information on unmarked 'black widow' magazines, I would be glad to hear as I am trying to find a value so that I can price it fairly for sale.

Thanks all.
