Matching Magazines

policeluger · 10-13-2002, 11:22 PM

Over the years I have done several "estate sales", or have had the odd once in a while Luger come into my shop without the owner having ever heard of Lugers being collectable, would not know Shattuck from Datig and could not care less. Most had match mags or 2. I just had a Imperial era Erfurt to clean and test for a guy who just was given the gun by family, and I have a guy here with a 1900 test gun, both have not a clue, as to value and could not care, and both guns have proper or matched mags. I could go on with stories, but I do not feel that 1 or even both mags matching is that rare. But as time goes on and guns "come to light", be real careful as to what is being offered as original.
