Mike,

I am sorry you didn't get what you expected, but as mentioned previously, the visible magazine button on the side of the magazine facing the viewer is a dead giveaway that his is not a real Luger magazine. I remember these magazines being sold in the 1960's and 70's at gun shows with Replica Non-Guns. They would fit and made a great display unless you got close. They definitely do not fit a real Luger pistol. I feel the one line description is totally inadequate... and misleading. Good luck and getting your money back through VISA.

Couple of pics of one I bought back in the 80's from Collector's Armory in the D.C. area. While no guts, it does hold a number of rounds and fits my guns well. You can see, perhaps, the MGC stamp and 'proff' marks. I also have a dummy Thompson drum I bought there too.

Guys,
Here is an update to the story. After compiling an extensive file which included a letter from a gunsmith stating that item was a fake, and sending it all to my credit card company, I was informed that I would be given credit for the entire transaction including shipping. The seller has until July 31st. to protest or show that their decision was in error. But so far so good.

Mike

Hi Mike. Followed this up from a link on the 'other' Luger forum. I'll offer you $150 for the dud if you get your money back. I only need it to fit a deactivated Luger.

Mike..Good news! Yes..the seller has the responsibility to respond to the CC Co. to explain why their sale was not fraudulant. Good luck, let us know what happens!
