Chris Boonzaier Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi, can someone give a basic lesson on those double magazine pouches? Apparently most on the market are Portuguese, sometimes restamped to fool collectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Williams Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Sorry Ed had other things happening plus UPS had a hard time finding me. EricA luger...............remember back a few months I posted a request from anyone that should come across a photo of a german soldier with a luger and attached to it was a lanyard? That request I just echoed for another collector that probably is the upmost collector of Luger leather accessories. No one has ever came across one ...so far. That lanyard is based on a Portuguese lanyard and they did have them and it could be an original. I have one and I will attach it also to a cavalry unit marked Luger when I finally acquire one. It is an exact copy of one and up to a few days ago, was the only copy of any item in my collection. The double mag pouch was an artillery item of issue and most found today are of Portuguese origin, most but not all. There are many german artillery origin mag pouches to be had....post some close up photos of it's markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think Eric's pouch is a good period piece. I like the ink stamp. Eric, if you don't like it, I will be happy to take it off of your hands. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bought the last one, I knew you wouldn't sell that so I knew you were full of bullshite. I've given up of finding another. I have four MG Lugers....that's enough. Got my sites on one other though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dksck Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I am trying to restore some lugers and have pretty much exhausted the search for parts in the US. Can any one point me toward sources of parts for lugers in the UK or Germany? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
