Dutch Luger

Don,
Could we see a photo of the wood base of your original magazine? Early Dutch magazines had an unusual spring catch in the base and it would be interesting to see if yours was so made.
I particularly enjoy Dutch Lugers and have a few of them. The discussion about the Japanese capture and use of Dutch Lugers is a known bit of history. One of my favorite Dutch Lugers came in an original holster that had seen some time in the possession of a Japanese soldier. It is marked on the back with the previous owner's name, "Okamoto", written in both scribbled Kanji (岡本) and painted Katakana (ヲカモト).
