Awesome,and good of your FIL for entrusting a family heirloom to you! Hopefully it makes it down through your children and so on.
Never seen an extended magazine like that on an 88.

Ya I've owned and been around several 88's I've never seen one either. It's says "colyer clip" 243 and 308 stamped on the side of it.
