Re: NB: Please Note!
I really appreciate the opportunity to see pictures of such a rare collectible. But to pick a nit, it is not a Luger collectible but rather an MP18I collectible.
The original plan for MP18I issue was for each company to have one submachine gun squad with six gunners armed with MP18I subguns and six ammunition cariers armed with G98 rifles. The squad had three handcarts to carry ammo and 2,500 rounds per subgun was the standard issue. The magazine boxes would have been carried on the handcarts.
Since LP08 pistols were generally issued to persons whose duties made it impractical to carry a K98a or G98, I doubt there were very many men armed with an LP08 who carried around a box full of snail drum magazines.
