What do I have?

Major Tom · 01-01-2023, 03:14 AM

At a recent garage sale, I bought for one dollar a P08 magazine disassembled. The seller said he took it apart to clean it and could not get it back together.
The body id bright silver (steel?), has a coiled spring 9/16 inch diameter, an aluminum hollow plug (tube) about 3/4 inch long attached to one end of spring, a black plastic follower, a white plastic bottom with a hole that the spring does seem to fit there.
The problem is that the spring in too large to fit inside the magazine body.
Seller said it was OK before he took it apart.
So, what is it? There are no markings on magazine body,
