What would this fit? Looks like a .45 or similar size.

Certainly a mystery thus far, my curiosity is about to get the best of me. It appears to be a single stack or semi-staggered magazine, I guessing 10 or so rounds. My best guess is some mag done up to fit a modified version of the Mauser Broom handle pistols that were imported and modified in the 70's and 80's to accept detachable mags. Would love to see someone ID this thing with documents and imagery to back it up

I thought Mauser, but it appears much larger than a .30 or 9mm.

A guy set up next to me at the OGCA had it, and it went home with him, so I no longer have access to it. I'll see him again at future OGCA meetings if someone does ID it.

I would say that your hand would depress the metal tail , then the mag would go into a well , then releasing the tail would allow the tang of it to lock into a cut in the rear bottom of the mag well. The scratches would support this. Don't recall any such pistol or carbine with this set-up.
