I understand that Triple-K has had varying quality during their production over the years. I have rarely seen any that I liked, but others swear by them. They could have been made during one of those "quality" periods.

If they are stainless steel instead of nickel, they are very likely of the Mitchell Stainless "Luger" vintage. I doubt that the actual manufacturer of the original stainless lugers made their own magazines... it would be too expensive to tool up to produce them for the small number that would be required. More likely they were produced by one of the aftermarket producers out of materials specified by the marketing company (Mitchell). All of the stainless Lugers were produced by the same manufacturing plant now called Orimar, which may have finally gone belly-up, and previously the names AIMCO, STOEGER and MITCHELL (IN REVERSE ORDER OF PRODUCTION).

Mec-gar is a strong contender as the producer of these mags, and they would be my aftermarket magazine manufacturer of choice because of their consistent quality.
