Brian Keith Posted January 30, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2023 This was in a lot I purchased at an auction of a closed gun shop. As you may be able see, it has a grease pencil marking: “45 CLIPS 615” I think the 615 was a price. Of course, I had to open it! As you can see in the photos, it was wrapped in protective paper, dated “1979 MAY”. It is blued and I found no marking on the magazine. Anybody recognize the packaging? Military surplus? Aftermarket commercial? Thanks for any responses! BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted January 30, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2023 There are no part numbers or CAGE code on the base plate at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted January 31, 2023 No, Nothing on the base. That is why I suspect, commercial or aftermarket. Could it be from a foreign military contract? Thanks! BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted January 31, 2023 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2023 Possible had contract overruns from a mil run and didn't mark em for commercial sales. The packing seems fairly mil-spec. Looks like some mags Ive seen from the late 70s into early 80s but they were marked on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
