Even a blind pig...

KNIL Lugers and magazines are one of my favorite variations. The magazines are quite difficult to find, and even a double-pinned ratty one, with the base spring intact, may bring around $250 (which I think is tops, but it depends on how badly you want a KNIL mag). If they should have a clear "GS" or "E" marking in the round depression of the bottom, that adds a premium. An unmodified (unpinned) minty KNIL magazine I would think might be valued in the neighborhood of $500-$575 (about a year ago I would have said $400, but the market has gone crazy). An absolute crispy mint unmodified example is extremely scarce, is as valuable as a nice clean shooter Luger, and may fetch up to $800 or so for a real fanatic.
