Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Magazine ID help.

I’m cleaning out the bench a bit and having a table at the gun show this weekend in Lewiston. I have these mags that came to me in a box of stuff. I’m not much of a semi automatic handgun guy so am not up on the mags. I think the two on the left are for a Colt 45. The other two handgun mags I haven’t a guess. I believe the 22 mag goes to a Remington but not sure which iteration.

2 on the left 45 acp 1911, middle one a dbl stack 9?, the 4th is it 22lr wide or 9mm,? looks luger to me, 22 mag ? Win 69 or 52 or maybe remington.513?. Mb

middle one is a P38, next one nambu

Thank you. The two middle are both single stack mags. The fourth from the left is 9mmish wide.

the P38 mag should have a nazi eagle on the back and a code, both it and the nambu magazine are valuable. $100-200 for the P38, $300-500 for the nambu

The P38 has this on the back. No other markings.

thats the code for mauser

I figured it was an identifier of some kind. It appears a bit rubbed from pouch wear.

Second from right is Not a Nambu. That’s a Luger.

Photo of markings on bottom would tell more.

Cool thread

I’ll check it when I get back from my wife’s doctors appointment.

The small magazine on the right looks like the same mag used in a number of rifles. These are from a savage

Pretty sure right most is a Winchester RF mag (used on the 52, 69, and 75) as mentioned above.

Okay now, quit putting your Wife’s health before an old box of magazines & give us a couple well focused pictures of the Luger markings!

I do indeed hope that you and your wife are doing well.

The above raw edged humor would be far less funny than it already isn’t if you’re not.

I can confirm that the two left magazines are for a US M-1911 .45 ACP. The middle is for a German P-38, the next is for a German P-08 Luger, and the end right one is either for a .22 caliber Winchester M-69 or other similar rifle. I believe that it will also fit some models of Remington .22 rifles as well, but I am not sure of any model numbers. There may be other .22 rifles that it will also fit, but I am not sure of that. I cannot comment on the value of the magazines, but unless there are some very unusual markings, they are not particularly rare, but original German ones are starting to get a bit scarce. I am the previous owner of a couple of M-1911s, the current owner of both a P-38, a Luger, and a Winchester M-69. The Winchester rifle was the first gun I ever shot. I remember it well, some six decades ago.

Here are the markings on the Luger mag.

I’m doing well. Her not so much. Ten level back fusion in 2018 and micro vascular dementia. Essentially no short term memory. And diminished long term memory. Not the retirement we had envisioned.

I had hoped it was something routine.

Very sorry for what you’re Wife & You are going through. That is indeed rough.

We take it a day at a time. I’m taking her to spend the weekend with my mom while I do the gun show. I have a table there. They’re like sisters and have a lot of fun together. My mom is healthy and sharp and can keep my wife lined out on her meds.
