Guys , thanks so much for your comments , very interesting .
The guy who sold to me , took some notes when he bought the pistol and the veterans family still lives in the local area . So I am hopeful I can gather a little more history , like when and where in France he served and when he returned home etc .
On the magazines , some local fellows into lugers have pointed out , since yesterday...
-the "D" shaped staking punch at top of tube , is much smaller than WW2 era Mauser magazines .
-Walters' Luger Book , Pg 160 , shows a 1906 pattern Swiss mag with blued body and wood
base , Is this a possibility for the tubes at least ?
