    Colt magazine?

    Hello collectors;
    I found this magazine, never seen before. It is unmarked and has a small cut on the body just above the base lip.
    Could it be the WWII "pinned" Colt?

    If it has an opening in the body just above the lip/base, it is not WWII. In the picture those do not appear to be pins, but rather some type of spot weld.

    Is the cut U-shaped?

    Those welds look like a Norinco magazine. Good mags.

    First of all, thanks for your appreciated answers and excuse my late reply.
    Yes, this magazine had an U shaped cut.
    I traded it for another one, which seems (I hope) correct. The problem is I never seen even a detailed pic of a genuine WWII Colt unmarked magazine...
    The new one:
