Mounted with fully checkered black composition 2-pc grips. Pistol is accompanied by two matching numbered magazines.

These pistols were among the very first orders placed with the Auto Mag corporation by a gentleman named Molisar of Las Vegas, Nevada, which is acknowledged by a letter addressed to Mr. Molisar on Auto Mag letterhead dated March 24, 1971. Additionally accompanying is a confirmation of this order which shows both SN's and states that delivery will commence April 8, 1971 and also includes loading data for the cartridge. Additional sheets in the folder give step-by-step procedures for utilizing other brass to form into Auto Mag cartridges. Additionally accompanied by each pistol's owners manual, warranty card and an invitation to join the Auto Mag owner's group.
