Do original Luger magazines really hold 8 rounds???

My 1900AE will only hold 7 rounds. It will depress maybe another 1/8" before coilbind, but not enough for an 8th round...

My Mec-Gar mags will hold 8 rds...That 1900AE mag is the only original Luger mag I have...

If you experts agree that original Luger magazines hold 8 rounds, I will happily pull this thread...

Can't have erroneous data on the forum...
