Default Baby browning magazine .25acp

Hi can any one out there help me find someone who can ship a few baby browing magazines to the UK, my original magazine started to split along the soldered seems, It is a genuine brass magazine from 1912, and I passed it to a friend to repair which he did badly, possibly due to the lack of lead in modern solder also he heated to up to much, the upshot is that it now won't even fit into the gun, I am able to shoot this pistol under section 7 which is historic firearms I have not been able to find any in the UK or Europe and it now looks like another handgun is becoming obsolite unless I can find some magazines. I have been told that most US companys can not ship complete magazines out of the US but spares or parts are OK, unfortunately none are willing to do this, can any one help?
many thanks Dinger

UK customs are not the problem, there is no trouble getting anything gun related into the UK apart from complete firarms, finished frames and barrels, magazines are no problem at all, even 30 round ar-15/m16 are ok own in the UK with or without a firarms cert, I have a 30round glock mag,I know for a fact there are not many of these legally owned in the US!! ( no pistol to go with it though) the problem stems from the US government who seems to think that all exports are going terroist groups. Having served 3 tours or Afganistan and 1 in Iraq all in aid of the good ole US of A it does dick me off a bit. I've bought lasermax sights for a 1911 and use eotech sights on an M4 but if I try to buy spares for them now I can't get any, all due to them being exported to terrorist groups of which I can assure you I am not.
