WTB: V marked XXX magazines

[Bridgeport28A1]

WTB: I am looking for V marked XXX magazines to complete my collection. I am looking for A-O, SW CO, Crosby or Seymour XXX magazines that are V marked on either the top or bottom front edge. I have XXX magazines to trade or cash. Please send me a private message if you have any you want to trade or sell so I may hopefully complete my magazine collection.

 

The V stamping looks like this:

 

 

If you have not bought member TSMG28 book Thompson Submachine Gun Magazines 1917-2021 I would encourage you to do so. It is a great reference book. They are pictured and discussed on page 156.

Bridgeport28A1,

That makes at least two of us, I have been looking for at least one of those for years now...

[TSMGguy]

Right. Also looking but have never seen one in many years.

Are those WWII British?

[TSMG28]

Uncle Dudley,

 

No, the V was added by all U.S. mag manufacturers in the latter half of 1942, supposedly as an encouragement to both the workers and fighting men.

Dont forget to get both versions of the Auto Ordnance mag as well ;-)

 

Agreed, they used to come up more often, V mags that is.

I once made an offer to trade a,v mag for a correct patent date mag of same quality. I may still consider it. Need to find em though. Have two and one to trade.
