    magazines help, please

    I recently purchased two Colt series 70 pistols; I guess I should have paid more attention to details. I found the mags were unmarked, looked kinda cheap. Are the correct mags supposed to be Colt marked, with the pony, so forth? Also, the trigger on the MKIV govt model is stainless. I have a hunch somebody swapped the trigger and mags before I got ahold of them. Can somebody set me straight on what should be the proper parts?
    TIA for the help.

    Yes. The good ones have an "M" on the bottom also. It stands for Metalform and is a contractor for Colt OEM magazines.

    The trigger sounds like a swap it wouldn't be hard to find an original. try Gun Parts Corp.
