"proper" magazine for a DWM 1918

Crotalus · 09-06-2006, 12:44 PM

I was wondering what a correct magazine would be for a 1918 DWM military luger. I have pictures of it posted here. I don't need close serial numbers or anything, I just want it to look right and fit right. The last two I bought (One original WWII, Finish made and one repro) didnt fit properly (one was too big one was too tight and couldnt be removed without pressing down inside the chamber). Does anybody know where I can buy a magazine that is correct for this year/style that will actually fit and function properly? I'm not looking for something absolutely perfect to display for big bucks, just something that I can afford that isnt a new reproduction, looks right in my pistol, and works.

A wood based magazine, not blued body but tinned. However, they may or may not fit right, maybe your frame is pinched, or maybe just a tight fit. I have some mags that fit in certain guns and some mags that fit in other guns, but not the others.
