Trying to identify this magazine

I have this Luger magazine and I really have no idea as to what it had originally belonged to. If anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated and an approximate value.

I am sure the experts are going to want to see some pics of the bottom of the magazine. Also any other markings on the magazine.

No markings, and an unnumbered/unmarked bottom.

The tube appears to be blued.

That makes it a good candidate for a Dutch navy magazine, which accompanied the Mauser made pistols which were delivered to the Dutch navy.

Interesting. It is a blued tube and looks almost the same as the one you picture, just in a bit rougher of shape. I know absolutely nothing about Duch Lugers so thanks for the info. Any other input would be of great help. I can get some better close up pictures tonight after work if that will help in identification and appraisal.
