First Luger. I have a few questions.

Thanks very much to all those who replied. It's refreshing to see a collector's board that doesn't treat new collectors with disdain.

I was looking to replace the magazine as I found the spring inside it is kinked and bent. I never even considered looking in the magazine at the spring or checking the spring for tension. The magazine floor plate is also missing one of the two pins that hold it into place. After seeing the prices on magazines for this handgun I'm going to buy a replacement spring from Wolff and find a new pin.

I guess Mecgar no longer makes P08 magazines? Should I find a WW1 era magazine with a wooden floor plate for this handgun or not bother spending the money?
