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. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#3558
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.

That's like getting free bug extermination for a LONG time! Congrats!

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.

That would be for an S code; I own 3005 with orig mag.

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.
