I would like to add to the above excellent advice that you need to be sure the mag has the correct Toriimatsu factory proof marks as shown in the photo provided by Rampage19, so as not to be confused with similar blue mags (Type VII) from the Kokubunji factory. Having the correct mag type/proof marks, followed by the correct number size, then the correct number, is the proper sequence to properly matching a mag to your pistol.

You guys are too much mag-nerds. All I needs to know 'bout them Japanese Luger mags are either "shiny or bluey". (Said just like a good Eva-nese, hehehe)

You forgot to mention that some of them "shiny" ones can have a funny lookin' hole in the front like the "bluies" and some do not!

M'lord, thank you for your support on our shared philosophy. BTW, if you have any shiny Japanese Luger mags that don't have the M1 carb battle damage, and has a triangluar cut out for the mag catch, (known as the rare early Chigusa mags by the mag nerdy types, but what do they know)...

Don't give ole Ronin48 any bright ideas. He may now go around gun shows with a little rat-tail file and convert those super rare triangular-slotted shiny Chigusa mags to the inferior rectangular-slotted ones.

He could also line-out the serial numbers too, just for spite.
