I think this has already been 'over thought'. I am sorry I made my interest known publicly.
FWIW - From my experience, U.S. Customs are easy to work with.

Well, at least it´s provided added proof that this site provides a very comprehensive service!:super:
It's perfectly legal to ship here, (USA), as long as it's declared for $100 or less. ANY firearm component worth more than $100 requires an ATF Form 6 import permit in order to legally import. This includes target sights but not telescopes.
There were P-08 Luger magazines coded fxo, (Haenel), manufactured during WWII that have plastic bottoms. They are correct on 41 date, 42 coded, (Mauser), pistols. Some are called "Black Widows" because they also have black plastic grip panels.
I was waiting for you...Quote:

Canada got some East German luger many years ago. A friend of mine who also was a surplus arms importer gave

nothing when he bought some guns from an exporter in Europe.
my DWM 1923 Commercial Luger made for export came with two unmarked magazines just like yours , nickle plated with plain wooden bottoms.
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) covesr the following...
Category I—Firearms, Close Assault Weapons and Combat Shotguns
*(a) Nonautomatic and semi-automatic firearms to caliber .50 inclusive (12.7 mm).
*(b) Fully automatic firearms to .50 caliber inclusive (12.7 mm).
*(c) Firearms or other weapons (e.g. insurgency-counterinsurgency, close assault weapons systems) having a special military application regardless of caliber.
*(d) Combat shotguns. This includes any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches.
*(e) Silencers, mufflers, sound and flash suppressors for the articles in (a) through (d) of this category and their specifically designed, modified or adapted components and parts.

*(g) Barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete breech mechanisms for the articles in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this category.

The last line covers magazines, sights etc etc, there is an exemption for miscellaneous parts like pins and springs with a value less than $100. You need to have an approved ATF Form 6 Application and Permit for Importation of Firearms, Ammunition and Implements of War to import magazines and gun parts. Failure to do so is a violation of Federal Law. Violations under the ITAR can bring civil penalties of $500,000 per violation and criminal penalties of up to $1 million per violation along with up to 20 years in prison.
