Gun Collectors Dream Auction #84 June 13th & 14th
Lot 305:
Description
This lot features a collection of ten detachable box magazines designed for use with the Beretta 92 series of semi-automatic pistols. Each magazine is chambered for 9mm Parabellum and is designed with a restricted 10-round capacity to comply with specific regional regulations. The rear spine of each magazine body contains three witness holes numbered 4, 7, and 10 to indicate the remaining round count. The group includes a mix of blued steel and matte black phosphate finishes, with both polymer and metal baseplates represented. Prominent markings stamped on the magazine bodies include PB CAL 9 PARA MADE IN ITALY and PB CAL 9 PARA MADE IN USA, identifying them as Pietro Beretta factory components. One example has been personalized with 92FS 10rd written in silver marker. These magazines are essential accessories for the Beretta 92FS, M9, and other compatible 90-series handguns.
Condition report:
The magazines are in good overall condition, displaying varying degrees of finish wear, thinning, and superficial scuffing consistent with regular use and storage. While most examples maintain a clean appearance, one magazine exhibits noticeable surface oxidation and moderate pitting on the side of the body. The polymer and metal floorplates show minor impact marks and scratches. Springs and followers appear to be under appropriate tension, although the magazines have not been function-tested with live ammunition.
