Let's play "Guess the Mag"

[Tyroma]

Hey gang...

I recently found a mag in an old box of misc. gun parts I was given. I have tried google, with no luck. Let's see who can figure it out!

1. It's 32 cal
2. No manufacturing stamps or names
3. Has a 4 digit electro pencil number (makes me think euro)
4. Has a unique slide hold-open tab on the follower

btw...before you say "it obviously a walther pp or ppk", please note that it does not have the little cutout on the front. So, must be heel-release (also typically euro)

Here's the pics..good luck!

Hmmm, interesting. It's old and looks darn near brand new. Agreed on the European lineage, and it doesn't look military. Italian? (just a guess, did Beretta ever make a .32acp?)

10 rounds= after 1907. Plastic (Bakelite) base=1930's. Colored plastic (other than black/brown)=1950's onward.
.32acp came out of favor (1970's?).

Therefore; if I was forced to guess, I'd date it somewhere from 1950's-1970's
