Look at the mag on the left in the last picture. Do you see the crimp? That is definitely a military mag. I suspect the others may be knockoffs.

I believe the others were SEY hardbacks and an AYP which wouldn't have the crimp. - Bob

These Mags are Not knock offs...I bought them from a well known Collector here on Milsurps.

Did the US make any Unmarked USGI 30 Rounds Mags or every mags had a Marking ?

Every WW2 magazine had markings on them. You have to be careful with the SEY marked magazines as there are reproductions floating around for years stamped to fool buyers. I also think that Jim is correct in that the magazines are suspect.

My Sey. Hardbacks have a crimp on the fold.

Can you show a picture of the front seam on one of your SEY Hardbacks? - Bob

Correction; I dug out my SEY mags and no extra crimp. They look just like post # 9, the 2 on the left.
