Hi Pete,

I doubt that the Dutch Navy lugers had the magazines with the spring catch. Initially they would be normal unnumbered nickle-plated magazines with ordinary wood bottoms, later replaced by blued tube magazines with wood bottoms, eventually replaced by the Haenel-type.

Ed: I think the lack of a witness mark shows that it's early Mauser assembly.
