hi guys , i have a question , I have a 1939 S/42, O [ serial number sufix] , when I received the luger it came with a late FXO bakelite based magazines , both original magazine were missing.
removing the dream of finding the original serial numbered magazines what would be the next best set of magazines to look for ??
were there O [ serial number sufix] magazines that were produced without serial numbers ?
the Luger has very sharp checkering on the grips and about 93 to 95 % original blueing .
I am new to Lugers and would greatly appreciate your advise.
many thanks, robbt

The correct mag. for your 1939 S/42 is a rolled tin crimped blue mag body with an aluminum base. Should have SE83 SE63 or SE63 SE63 Acceptance stamps on base. If you can find the same as above with an S42 stamped on the base, this is a correct replacement mag. Welcome to the Forum and the crazy addictive luger habit. Bill
