Help Identifying these

[Westin84]

Picked these up in a trade a long long while back. Can any help identify these for certain? Are they worth anything? If they are?.what can one realistically ask for them?

What makes them priced so low?

That was about 15 years ago at The Great Western Gun Show in Reno. They were imported by the container full in the late 90's and early 2000's. The vendor I got them from probably didn't want to take them home and carry them to the next show.

it looks similar to M3 grease gun mag. Does it fit 45acp?

Supply and demand.

600,000+ M3 submachineguns made during WW2. Probably a half dozen or more magazines produced for each. (3-4 million or more?)

M3/M3A1 grease guns were practically never released to the public, and probably only a couple hundred are now legally owned by individuals in the US.

A few manufacturers have based new designs around these magazines (Cobray, MAC, Ingram) with mixed results.

The magazines in these photos look to have been modified to fit something else since the magwell stops appear to have been ground off.

Defintaly not a M3 or sten mag. Also not a MP40, mac, Uzi, Thompson, Swedish k or Colt smg. Maybe some sort of other ww2 smg? With such a long reinforncement at the top, I would guess it goes through the grip. I'm stumped!

My bet would be for the Cobray M11 or something similar from the 80's. Possibly a universal type mag for one of the variations of the Ingram MAC10. Some of those had either a standard mag release or a heel mag release. Those mags look to have cuts for both.

So at this point we?re still at square one haha.
