    Found a small stash of vintage/WWII mags in a LGS used mag bin last week, knew what most of them were but I grabbed all that looked C&R since they were dirt cheap and never know when they may come in handy. Having trouble figuring out what this pair belongs to though, anyone have any ideas? 7.65mm, no markings. Thanks!

    Hard to tell since a lot of .32 mags look alike, no markings makes it even harder. Construction looks more modern though.
    My guess is aftermarket FN 1900, FN 1910, or some Mauser. I don't see any catch slots so it has to be heel release of some sort.
    Could be any number of those early/mid 20th century pocket .32s or their knockoffs.

    I'd agree they are aftermarket, due to the spine welding, spot-welded base (?) and the unusual shape of the follower and the top in front of the feed lips. For what, a mystery to me...

    Thank you both, spine welding was having me thinking modern as well the more I looked at them. Guess they’ll be going from the LGS used mag bin right into my mag bin just I case I figure it out some day. Thankfully the other finds were more fruitful…in addition to the mystery mags I found a late war Sauer 38H mag, pair of original Colt 1908 .380 mags, and a pair of WWII 1911A1 mags all for under $50.
