Good morning, high roaders.
My grandfather died a couple of years ago, and left me quite a few things firearms related. He attempted to join the Airforce during WWII, but was turned away as he had skull surgury when he was a child which left an open hole behind his ear.
His brother, who did serve, brought him a gift upon returning. He came back with his Issued Colt 1911 and two magazines and presented it to my grandfather, who kept it and used it for years until a 'friend of the family' got it off his hands, trading it for a .38 special M&P in 1968, as my father looked on.
In a box of gun junk, I came across an old box of .45acp in a canvas bag, with one of the 1911's magazines. My question is this:
The mag is totally non stamped, or labeled to my eye, barring the rust clean-up to come, and it is definitely of the period. Who might have made these mags, and what might it be worth?
