Colt 380 auto magazine info

yblockhead
I picked up 2 each Colt two-tone 380 magazines over the weekend. A little bit of surface speckling, otherwise pretty nice shape. Any idea of what these might be worth?

    Depending on condition have seen them from $75-$175+.

    You can look on the GB auction side for what is currently listed and under advanced > completed items to see what a particular item sold for as well:

    The pictures in Ray B's photos appear to be Colt Mustang 380 auto magazines -- which are only worth around $25 each.

    If they are factory Colt 1903/1908 magazines they are worth the $75-$175+ each (depending on condition and type) as Juggernaut mentioned.

    Great site! I need a further clarification between a rounded top and strait top. These both fit in the 1920-early 40 category though!

    The magazine in the rear is the "square-top." The forward magazine is the older "round-top." Look at the differences in the lips.

    Thanks all for your help! I have the type VI square top magazines. Time to find a pistol to go with them or trade them off!

    What a great idea! Buy a $10 magazine at a yard sale and then tell the wife "I've got to get the pistol for this or it's no good". [:D] I'm gonna try this and I'll let everybody know how it works.

    Imho if your going to own any C&R such as a Colt 1903/1908 might as well have original parts and magazines as well.
