Default Dutch mag bottom with spring retainer...

I hate to even mention this... but, I have made them before, and, I can make one of those for you??? ... It's not cheap, but considering the work involved, not really that expensive either... It is practically, if not completely, indistingushable from the original...Let me know if you're interested...I'm at gctomeks@msn.com .. Best to you, til...lat'r...GT

Default dutch bottom...

Hi Dave, Ron Wood had an excellent pictorial on this very subject.. perhaps he could re-present it? Or direct you to it in the archives(sp.?) anyway... they're a fairly complex little item, for what they had to do?? Best to you, til...lat'r...GT

Check it out here:

As it is an old post, and I can't edit it since it is an "archive", there are some goofy characters that replace quotation marks and other punctuation. But it is still readable.

Ron,
I remember seeing the wooden base many years ago. I suspect it may have been thrown away in the 50's or 60's. There is the possibility that it may turn up in my parents house at some point. They are both in their 90's now.

An update on the wooden bottom to my magazine. It never turned up in my parents house after they passed away. I can only assume that it was thrown out at some point because it was “broken”.

Don,
Happy to see that you thought to return to this thread after 6 years, but sad to hear that the base to your magazine didn't turn up. If you really want one, I can totally recommend a replacement made by G.T. as it is a dead ringer for an original.
Ron

Gentlemen,
I have two Dutch lugers in my collection.

The first, I believe is from the 1st Dutch KNIL contract, serial number 3843, which has the grip safety and the 'RUST' safety arrow points up.

The 2nd, I believe is from the 3rd Dutch KNIL contract, serial number 13737, which also has the grip safety, and the 'RUST' safety arrow pointing up.

To compliment the above, I have a centre toggle from the 2nd KNIL Contract.

Stay safe
Richard

Just a quick note that K.M. on the grip stands for Korps Mariniers, not Koninklijke Marine.

K.M. is only found on those pistols issued to Marines.
