Hello Ron,

Thank you for your explanations/comments regarding the configuration of flat-button magazines. Technically, you are correct when experts describe genuine flat-button magazines such as the early wood-base type and the Swiss metal insert type. I understand your caution regarding the magazine with this particular Luger pistol even though it appears pristine.

I have not had the opportunity to examine this Luger in my hands, however, I would not be able to determine a person's motive to have a flat-button magazine included with this particular pistol when there is no mention of its importance/significance while the pistol is being advertised for sale. Furthermore, with the pistol being in Argentina, I doubt somebody would go out of his way just to enhance the value of the pistol by an additional $500 by providing a (suspicious) flat-button magazine unless the pistol had previously gone through the hands of a crook. I know of a few expert crooks in South America, and if they have any intelligence, they should quickly realize that the frame on this Luger is relieved and it would be a waste of time and money to provide a flat-button magazine with this pistol - they would be better off trying to sell the magazine separately and replace it with a standard commercial magazine.
