NOS Mags-Open or leave sealed?

[Johnny Peppers]

I think maybe I will open them and put them in and out of a pistol about 1000 times, you know-just to give them some history.

Wait until you get a really 99% plus 1911A1 and then you can add much admired history to both of them.

At a Dallas show in about the same time period you mention an exhibitor had a cigar box full of magazines in the original wrap for $5, and really excellent used mags for $3. I though they were too high.
