Anyone ever heard of a take-down mag? <img BORDER="0" src='http://boards.rennlist.com/luger/pic.gif'

John, Dutch contract Lugers had a magazine with a base that could be removed for cleaning. The spring was "V" shaped with a bend at each end. One side was depressed to remove the base. I believe that the original mags were adapted after delivery to Holland. The Dutch considered this to be unreliable and some time later, a pin was inserted so that the base could no longer be removed. There are very few left without the pin.Sometimes collectors remove the pin - but the hole should still be there.Patrick
