Many thanks to all who helped me indentify those previous magazines and holsters. The info you furnished was correct and all are receiving vigorous bidding on the GB auction side.

The participants of this forum are a GREAT help!

Here are 3 more mags to ID. I've identified them in the photos only as A, B, and C.

A is 9mm and measures 4" along the spine. Overall good with no dents, strong spring. VERY slight rust spots on left side. NO MARKINGS.

B is 380acp, 9-rd, measures 4" along the spine. Overall good, NO dents, good bluing, stamped on toe of baseplate HE in a circle.

C is stamped CAL COLT 380 on base plate, measures 3 3/4" along spine. Typical Colt 2-tone blue. Some slight wear and rust visible on right side.

Would like them identified as to what gun each is for, and a ballpark value - in your opinion. I always use a low start bid.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards ~ ~ ~ Shansei45

  #A is Model 1907 Swede military pistol, also known as 1903 FN Browning.
  
  #C is Model 1908 Colt pocket hammerless.
  
  
  EDIT #1, #B appears to be very similar to the floorplate markings found on the Ruby Type pistols made in Spain and used by the French military during W W I. "HE" is attributed to the Spanish firm of Hijos de A-Echeverria of Eibar Spain.

  Thanks, Rufe. Have you seen how well all those others I checked on here are doing over in the auction side? Just put Shansei45 in user name search...
  
  VERY well pleased with the results. Certainl shows it helps to identify this gear BEFORE you advertise it.
  
  Thanks again.

  You do know that other people like to learn from the questions here? Deleting a thread just because you are done with it doesn't increase the knowledge base.
  
  Just sayin'....

  CDMead, you are correct, however my intent here was to free-up some space for others. I wouldn't think my magazine and holster questions would be at the top of the info food chain. I would think the more important topics would involve firearms.
  
  I've posted several similar queries, and still have need for more. Just don't want it to look like I'm hogging the forum's use. Thought I was doing the correct thing to remove them once their goal was accomplished.
  
  Looks like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. Can't win.

  It's your question to do with as you see fit. I was just pointing out that some of us like to read the questions to possibly learn something.
  
  Pistols and rifles are relatively easy for me to identify because of the markings. Magazines, not so much, and you'd be surprised how often one encounters a pile of generic magazines....

  ..and don't worry about 'freeing up space'. The questions you (or any of us, for that matter) ask on these forums is not enough to twitch the bandwidth useage needle at all.
  
  Fire away. Don't delete!

  Just found the original pics and they can be reloaded to Photobucket and then replaced in the blank spots above. They ARE interesting old guys...
