Description

A pair of original magazines for a Spanish Ruby semi-automatic pistol. These magazines are designed for .32 ACP (7.65mm Browning) ammunition with a 9-round capacity. The bodies are constructed of blued steel and feature nine staggered circular witness holes on the sides for ammunition count. Each magazine is equipped with a flat baseplate that includes an integrated forward-facing pull-tab extension. One magazine is stamped on the lower left side with the serial number 94341. The other magazine bears a faint, circular mark with radiating lines on the upper portion of the rear spine, consistent with a Spanish proof or manufacturer mark such as those used by Gabilondo y Urresti.


Condition report:

Both magazines are in good service-used condition. There is widespread thinning and wear to the original blued finish, revealing grey metal underneath. Visible surface oxidation and light pitting are present across both examples, with some heavier rust spotting near the base of one. The followers and springs maintain tension. The metal baseplates exhibit moderate edge wear and small impact marks consistent with historical use and age.
