Gun Collectors Dream Auction #84 June 13th & 14th
Lot 185:
Description
This lot consists of eleven (11) assorted semi-automatic handgun magazines in various configurations and finishes. The collection includes double-stack magazines with finishes ranging from blued and matte black to Parkerized and polished steel. Key markings include two magazines with baseplates featuring the Taurus bull’s head logo and the model designation PT 145, one compact magazine with a baseplate featuring a stylized Ruger R logo, and one magazine baseplate with a circular B mark. One magazine body is marked MADE IN ITALY near the base. The magazines are constructed from both steel and polymer components, with a mix of metal and polymer baseplates and floorplates. Several examples feature witness holes with capacity indicators for levels such as five, ten, and fifteen rounds. The items show varying degrees of wear consistent with use, including finish thinning, surface scratches, and areas of light oxidation.
Condition report:
The magazines exhibit signs of moderate use across the lot. Metal finishes show thinning, surface scratches, and scattered areas of light oxidation, particularly on the blued and polished examples. Polymer components including baseplates and followers show minor scuffing and impact marks. Springs appear to retain tension and followers move under pressure; however, the magazines have not been function-tested in firearms.
