Default You won't believe this

My termite guy and I were talking yesterday, and the topic of guns came up.
He is an avid shooter and does some shade tree gunsmithing.
I mentioned I have Lugers and he said he had an old Luger mag he wanted to give me.
I insisted on buying him at least some of his favorite alcoholic beverage in trade, although he protested.
I picked him up a case of Coors beer, and he brought the mag today.

Droop winged eagle over 2. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still can't believe it.
Doesn't match my Kriegs by number, but still.......
Unreal.

Always be nice to your bug guy, ya just never know.

Thanks John.
He is more of a quick-draw/Sharps rifle kind of fellow, but had repaired a byf Luger for a local and had a *bit* of familiarity with the toggle tops.
Such a nice fellow, but who would have ever imagined that mag turning up in his parts box, out here in the rural wilds?
I am still ecstatic.
Mag is dirty, but in great shape.
*does the Happy Dance*

Thanks Tom, for your info.
I have one Krieg with a matched mag, and 2 others without Krieg mags at all.
If anyone can show me they own the matching gun to this mag, I would happily sell or trade it to them.
If not, I will keep it for one of mine that has a less matched mag.
