A Finn Magazine!

This is what I`ve been looking for!

Finally a SA-stamped alu bottomed mag for my SA Luger

Edward Tinker · 04-02-2009, 10:09 AM

VERY nice!

Excellent!

How much did you pay?

jussi16 · 04-02-2009, 02:34 PM

Let`s say that I paid enough...

But I think it is worth it and these are rare.

cma22inc · 04-02-2009, 05:21 PM

Very Nice!

Lugerdoc · 04-03-2009, 09:25 AM

It's unusual to see an SA marking on a late production Police armour's spare mag, but the Finns would use whatever they could find. TH

jussi16 · 04-03-2009, 01:57 PM

I think these were brought to Finland between years -41 - 44, when we got other spare parts and all kinds of aid against the soviets from the germans.

Here is a pic of the double stamp on the gun that this magazine goes with.
Some people say that the finns are heavy drinkers...

I'm sure that's an exaggeration...

The Luger looks very nice!!! The grip design closely resembles the grips on my Lahti...Are all these made by the same company???

jussi16 · 05-23-2009, 01:46 PM

The grip plates were an army order from some company. Maybe they were made by VKT as the Lahti grips, I don`t know.
I never even thought about this. I will ask around if somebody here knows the manufacturer.

jussi

You even have a SA stamped tool to go with the Luger & mag. Nice rig

Joe

cma22inc · 05-24-2009, 12:35 AM

I need a cleaning rod like that.

I have the gun, tool, holster and mag already.

That is a neat set.

jussi16 · 05-29-2009, 11:51 AM

Thanks everybody!
I`ll try to find some tools for those in need. Lately it has been a bit hard to find these items.

jussi16 · 06-03-2009, 04:22 PM

Matt A.
Do you have a wood bottom mag or an alu? I`d like to see a pic, if possible.

cma22inc · 06-03-2009, 07:12 PM

It's a wood bottom and the SA mark is very faint.

Anyone care to see the gun or holster?

jussi16 · 06-04-2009, 06:57 AM

Show us everything!

cma22inc · 06-20-2009, 03:43 PM

Here is the Rig. There are more detailed pics posted in my album.

klaus 3338 · 06-21-2009, 05:51 AM

Jussi, here is another one of this kind. Mine is with serial number. Is yours a replacement clip?
If anyone really need it I would trade it (and also some of the shown tools with the SA) for something I need.
Regards Klaus

jussi16 · 06-22-2009, 01:21 AM

Hi Klaus
My mag is not necessarily a replacement. The finnish army mostly used just the SA stamp. Most of the Lahti mags for example, were without sn.
But then again the Suomi machine gun had numbered drum magazines.
I would be interested in your SA mag. What would you want for it? Please send a private message.
