Magazine types and usefulness

[Lugerdoc]

Stevie, The aluminum PO8 mag bottom first appeared from Simson in the 1920s and then from Mauser circa 1930. Many earlier Police used lugers were retro-fitted with these later mags as the need arose. I wouldn't recommend the recently advertised Interordnance mags as shooter, since most are dented, refinished, renumbered or at best rebulit. I've dug thru hundreds of these myself at some of the larger shows, looking for good unusual marked bottoms or decent tubes to rebuild. For actual shooting purposes, I'd stick with the newly made mags or the E.Ger rebuilt mags. I also have these available for sale. TH
