I have a couple like the fourth one that are unmarked on the bottom lip. Is there a way to tell if they are Colt or Remington other than the length of the bottom lip? THANKS

None of the Colt or Remington-UMC magazines were marked. Comparing the lip is about the only way to differentiate the two, with the Rem-UMC having a noticeably shorter lip. When Colt started contracting their Magazines in WWII, the magazine was then marked on the bottom of the lip identifying it as being Colt with the manufacturer.

How rare are the keyhole magazines? I happened to see one on Gunbroker the other day and it had a buy now price of over $600 on it. They can't be going for that price can they?

Just my opinion, but it would have to be a really nice one to bring that. But, if you had a really nice pistol needing that magazine it would be worth however much you wanted to spend to correct the pistol. In that case, $600 would be a good price.

JP, I just picked up a "WB" that has an unmarked all blue pined base mag.
Any idea what time frame this belived to be Colt mag is from?

The full blued magazines were approved in late 1940. so the full blued, pinned, and unmarked would be absolutely correct for your pistol.

Thanks JP, the Colt is 95% and "straight out of the woodwork"
I had a good feeling that it might be the original mag.
When did the "C-R" and "C-S" mags first show up?
