Description

A collection of six single-stack pistol magazines designed for the Colt M1911 platform and similar Government Model pistols. The magazines are chambered for the .45 ACP (.45 AUTO) cartridge. One visible metal baseplate is marked "COLT .45 AUTO" alongside the rampant Colt logo, indicating manufacture or intended use with Colt firearms. The magazines feature multiple witness holes along the spine to indicate remaining capacity. Four of the six magazines are fitted with non-standard, extended black polymer or rubber basepads, one of which is marked "SHAW" and others featuring various circular logos. These extended basepads are commonly used for competition or enhanced grip during magazine changes. The remaining two magazines appear to retain standard metal baseplates. These items are accessories and do not require federal classification.Measurements: N/A
Condition: The magazines are in heavily used condition, consistent with extensive service or range use. The original bluing or black finish is heavily worn, scratched, and thinned across the bodies, particularly along the edges and feed lips. There is moderate dirt, grime, and surface corrosion visible, especially where the bodies meet the baseplates. The feed lips appear intact, but the springs and followers have not been inspected for tension or wear. The non-standard polymer basepads show scuffing and wear. Sold as-is; it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure these magazines function correctly with their specific firearm and comply with all local, state, and federal firearms laws regarding capacity and possession.
