It came with 5 mags. Two makers.

I wonder how old they really are.

All Thompson submachine gun magazines were made during WWII. They didn't have any contracts for them after that. The magazines you picture were made during WWII probably in the 1942 time frame. The contractor for the pouch is also a legitimate WWII contractor.

Thanks GIJive,

I was not too concerned about the pouch but I thought the mags were after war.

Is there a definite way to date those mags?

99% it's sovietic LEND LEASE stuff. An ukrainian seller is invading Europe with pouches and mags. A little trivia, the bad guys says stuff is in Germany then he ships from Ukraina and you have to pay a lot of customs fees and costs. I was one of his victims.
