Condition report:
Condition varies across the lot. The blued steel magazines show general finish wear, light scuffing, and minor surface oxidation. The stainless steel .40 S&W magazine exhibits visible spots of surface rust and freckling near the follower and base. The Hi-Standard magazine shows finish thinning and patches of light pitting. The Smith & Wesson M&P magazine maintains a bright finish with minimal wear. The polymer components, including followers and base plates, appear intact with typical handling marks. All springs retain tension, though mechanical function in specific firearms has not been tested.
