No blue pin on wood-bottom mag

[Pete Ebbink]

Guys,

If I am lucky enough to win this one, I will be happy to bring it along for show & tell at both the Reno and the Tulsa shows coming up...

In C. Kenyon's book, "Luger - The Multinational Pistol" there sure are some magazine pins on some Navy and Artillery magazines that look silver...no blue cast at all...

As I know of several good fellows and have heard of others that can put any shade of blue on any luger part you want, including any "aging" you might also want... I am not too concerned with the colour of the pin.

So what bit of security does a nice fire-blue pin really buy you...?

Wood and tube looked good on this one on auction and I have a minty Swiss insert magazine bottom that sure needs a much better home (really rusty tube...)...and the old tube will inherit this nice un-numbered wood...

I thought my 1920's 6" bbl. Swiss shooter would look really good with a fixed-up Swiss insert magazine...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
