    Magazine ID

    Sorry if I should not have started a new thread on magazine ID. Did not know to place it in the other Magazine ID thread.
    I just joined a couple days ago and thanks for opportunity to be on this forum.
    I have a magazine that came with a 1911 I had once. Does anyone know anything about why a G is on it like a General Shaver magazine but has Mexico on it.
    Thanks

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Thanks, here is another pic. It is pinned . Bought the pistol, which was made in 1918, and the mag came with it. The gentleman did not know where he got the mag. I sold the gun about 20 years ago and a two toned mag was with it too. I kept this mag and some weird looking copper colored "spacers" that were on the inside of the grips.

    Copper spacers used to add weight to absorb recoil. Faster second shot.

    Maybe I misworded by saying "spacers " inside grips. These were used to thicken the grip panels.
