    1944 Colt 1911A1 MAGAZINE HELP!

    I recently acquired a 44' Colt 1911A1. I am looking for the correct magazine that for the gun. I believe I need a full blued, pinned floor plate magazine that is unmarked. I am terrible at determining what I am looking at if they are not marked. If anyone can provide me assistance in find one for purchase and identifying them it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Getem

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Wouldn't a contract mag be correct? For example, a Colt/Risdon? (R stamped on the top of the toe, C-R on the bottom.)

    That would be a correct magazine. I believe that Scovill also supplied magazines to Colt with a C-S on the bottom.

    I believe there were primarily 3 wartime mag suppliers to Colt. It's pretty cool they were all local Connecticut suppliers!
    All maker codes marked on the top front toe of the mags.

    C-L
    M.S. Little, Hartford Conn.

    C-R
    Risdon Tool & Machine, Naugatuck Conn.

    C-S
    Scovill Mfg. Co., Waterbury Conn
