    Default Magazines for old/rare handguns

    So I have two fairly old/rare handguns.

    1. 1934/5 Beretta 7.65mm .32ACP
    2. MAB Model D 9mm short .380ACP

    I am trying to find magazines for these guns and it seems not a single dealer (and I have approached many) is willing to help. My queries either go ignored, or simply "sorry old gun, can't help" response.

    I see a few places online in America seem to have stock for the Beretta and one place manufactures for the MAB (but doesnt currently have stock, has no idea when they will be manufacturing again, but would like my credit card details in the meantime to place my order).

    The places in America however do not ship internationally except the one that wants my credit card details.

    Any advice? Are any special permits required to import magazines? I was thinking of trying out Scott's Shipping Services but according to their T&C's they do not import ANYTHING firearm related.

    Have you tried Special Armory? Luzaan has helped me out a few times.

    NSN in Pretoria apparently has a box full of old mags.

    You would (according to internet lore) have to visit them and go through the box(es?) yourself.

    Mark at Guns and Bows referred me to (he sent Luzaan an email asking Luzaan to contant me) Luzaan who sent me an email asking what I wanted. I duly responded. That was 7 days ago. I sent a reminder e-mail just this morning. Hoping it was just an oversight that Luzaan hasnt responded yet.

    Nope. Nothing. Peter from K-Mag actually gave me a long list of dealers to try. I have sent every single one of them an e-mail. Mark from Guns and Bows and Tazio from Rescomp Handgun Technologies were the only companies that responded to my e-mail enquiries. The rest simply didnt respond.

    This is the list Peter gave me to try
