Magazine on eBay: Real or Repro?

Hi Aaron,
It is really hard to tell what the magazine is without more pictures and especially of the base and the numbers. We all know it is not a proper WWI magazine. -- The last ditch story is just a bull**** story in my opinion, with no facts to back it up at all. -- I think the Dutch Lugers of WWII did have some wooden bases, so that would be a posibility, but I'm not sure if the tubes would be nickel or blued? Other than the Dutch, the only other possibility would be a Weimar reworked Luger, and these are not that often noted. One has to remember that a blued tube would date the magazine in mid 1936 at the earliest. Good collecting!
