Value of vintage all metal Mec-Gar P08 Magazines

pdx · 01-26-2015, 12:53 PM

I bought two vintage, all metal Mec-Gar P08 magazines that I bought for my commercial Luger, but as I have it currently listed on GB, I'd like to sell these.

Does anyone have an opinion as to their value?

Thanks for any info!

mec gars are still made

I figure they are worth $40 each, however, for whatever reason you can buy them on ebay for around $29-$35 with free shipping

I pick them up whenever i can get them for a decent price as they work very well in most lugers

With metal bases and metal followers??? That sounds kind of low...Cote sells the plastic base/plastic follower Mec-Gar for $27.95 [new/blued]...

I have two new Mec-Gars that I will be upgrading with brass followers & G.T.'s aluminum bases that I hope will be worth more than $40 should I sell them...

Mecgar never made metal base magazines? If they did, I'd love to see one?

They did change them recently and I know about that.

But I highly doubt you will get a premium on ebay by listing them as such.

I don't know - OP posted 'all metal'...I take that to mean NO plastic...

Mine are all metal.

Either from G.T. or from Magic Metal Shop...
