Description

This lot consists of three factory semi-automatic pistol magazines designed for the Smith & Wesson M&P series. Two magazines feature polished stainless steel bodies equipped with high-visibility yellow polymer followers and black polymer base plates. The third magazine is finished in a darker gray phosphate coating and features a black follower with a flat dark earth (FDE) polymer base plate. All three magazines are designed with rear witness holes for visual round counting. The stainless steel examples are numbered 4 through 15 on the left side and 3 through 14 on the right side, while the phosphate-finished magazine is numbered 4, 6, 8, 10 on the left and 3, 5, 7, 9 on the right. Key markings include the Smith & Wesson monogram logo on each base plate, comprised of the intertwined letters S and W, surrounded by the text Smith & Wesson. The side of the stainless magazine bodies are also marked S&W AUTO. Based on the witness hole configurations, these appear to be standard capacity magazines for 9mm Luger or .40 S&W chamberings.


Condition report:

The magazines are in good physical condition, exhibiting light surface wear and minor scuffing from insertion and removal. The stainless steel bodies retain a bright, polished finish with minimal handling marks. The phosphate-finished magazine shows some minor finish thinning and typical shelf wear. The polymer followers show slight discoloration from contact with ammunition but appear to be in good working order. Spring tension remains strong across all three units. The polymer base plates show minor dings and scuffs consistent with moderate use but remain structurally sound.
