Drum Magazine On e-Bay...
...this one probably will not last long on e-Bay with their 8-round limitation...but the seller is even listing his home email address...

Pete, eBay, being the liberal bastion of democratic merchandising hasn't brains enough to see this for what it is. They do not know that Luger magazines almost always are 8 rounds and kick them off regularly. There are many 15 and 30 round mags to be found on eBay but the sellers say they will hold 10 rounds. This lets them stay on. The spies eBay employs are all young and cannot tell a bannana clip from a bannana. A sad indication of what is to come to Congress soon. Youth is wasted on the young.

Not long ago I bought an Inglis Holster (fabric type) on eBay. The description said it also had a "standard" Inglis spare magazine marked "JI". The only reason I bought it was for the very nice 13 round magazine and the eBay cops totally ignored the fact the magazine didn't meet their guidelines.
Jerry, I think you are right on with respect to the knowledge of the "eBay cops" |

I had an experience like that when I got my first Luger and took it to a range run by one of the county sherif's offices. You are required to use their ammo and all guns are inspected to be sure they are not loaded before you are allowed on the range. The young man doing the inspecting had no idea how to check the chamber on my Luger. The toggle totaly baffled him. Hopefully he remembers for the next time he sees one.

Steve,
My experience with the sheriff of a small WV town while visiting there last summer was just the opposite. This was a county range in a hunting area. The sheriff and two of his boys were testing a 1921 Thompson. After I panted for awhile, the sheriff asked if I would like to try it out. I used MY .45 AMMO (reloads) in his $20,000 gun. It worked great but I couldn't hit much as it reared upward in full auto. In return, I let him shoot my 1936 Luger and my .45 Colt single action. He was great to BS with and even invited me out to their next shoot.

Back to this type 1 trommel mag. At first blush, the $890 winning bid looks like a bargain. But that big dent in the bottom makes me wonder if that puppy will function. The restocking fee is a new one. The pictures were not adequate and if this was a type 2 I would have advised people to pass on it. With those pictures it would be impossible to tell if this was a Japanese repro. But if all you want to do is hang it on a wall, then this was as cheap as it gets for a type 1.

Lets hope that he doesn't see any electric arc welding on the vines side. <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" /> Then he won't be bragging to anybody about paying less than $900. Big Norm |

I recently saw this trommel type 1 on EBay that went for about $900.00, the seller said it was a replica with 8 rd. capacity.
Is it normal for replicas to go this high? Regards from a newby
