Ebay 10 round M1 Carby mags

Magazines look genuine, not knock offs. I can't tell about the material used on the pouch from your picture.

C-S'G' (C with an upside down T in it) is a Saginaw S'G' magazibe made by J.L. Clark Mfg. Co. with a type 3 base.
IO B is an I.B.M. magazine. Made by Owens Illinois Can Company, with a type 5 base.

The pouch is a type II with belt loops on the back. There are WW2 dated type II pouches. Type I pouches came out first. Some call them stock pouches, but they were made to snap onto a belt. A enterprizing person noticed the full sleeve would slide over the stock. The only examples I have seen made by Ranier Bell were marked as yours, 57.

Here are some WW2 dated type II's in my collection of over 300. Most marked inside the flap, but some on the back, 1945 dated.

Type I pouches were marked on the back. Or at least I haven't seen one marked under the flap.

I believe them to be genuine but stand to be corrected. I only really purchased them to go in the pouch which was an eBay purchase, hopefully not repro.

Feel confident about their originality...there were so many made for WW2 that the number would be staggering if someone could actually state it. The pouches are still emerging new after 70 years, many are in collections like Jim's and will never emerge until the collector is done with them.

That's a lot Jim...

I draw for example the collection we all saw recently in video...how much of this do you suppose he had? There are still storerooms full waiting for disposal I'm sure.
