Heard a Rumor

Tom,

I know there was indeed a dutch company that made them. It stopped creating them and some left-over documentation and magazine parts were bought by a dutch collector.

I mailed an image of the auctioned mag to the German dealer who bought a large part of the Mauser inventory some years ago, and he identified it as 'most probably' one of the tubes he acquired in that deal. These tubes appear to be made in the late 80's and are not mec-gars either.

I suspect Mauser was looking at different sources and obtained several magazines from several locations. This is turning into a nice piece of detective work and I'll try to find out what I can.
