Colt magazine?

**ziomanno** · 04-11-2009 10:57 AM

Hello collectors;
I found this magazine, never seen before. It is unmarked and has a small cut on the body just above the base lip.
Could it be the WWII "pinned" Colt?

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.

If it has an opening in the body just above the lip/base, it is not WWII. In the picture those do not appear to be pins, but rather some type of spot weld.

Is the cut U-shaped?

Maybe early 1970 Colt Commercial

Should have Colt markings on bottom if Colt commercial.

Those welds look like a Norinco magazine. Good mags.

First of all, thanks for your appreciated answers and excuse my late reply.
Yes, this magazine had an U shaped cut.
I traded it for another one, which seems (I hope) correct. The problem is I never seen even a detailed pic of a genuine WWII Colt unmarked magazine...
