Lot consists of 11 Reising Model 50 magazines. Magazines consist of 3 H&R marked corrugated 12 round magazines, one of which is blued, 6 H&R marked blued 20 round magazines housed in 2 contemporary 3 cell canvas magazine pouches marked "U.S / MEDCORP SADDLERY CO./ 1942" on the rear, and 2 unmarked blued aftermarket 30 round magazines manufactured by Ken Christie. CONDITION: 12 round corrugated magazines show some scattered handling marks and wear from use that shows through to silvering in some areas. Phosphate magazines show some small areas of discoloration, with the blued magazine showing a few areas of wear showing through to patina. 20 round magazines show varying degrees of wear, with a few showing some areas of light surface oxidation, and 1 being reblued and shows a few areas of pitting beneath the bluing, all of which are serviceable. Aftermarket 30 round magazines are very good, retaining the vast majority of their blue finish and showing a few minor nicks and areas of wear. A nice assortment of Reising magazines that highlights the three variations of Model 50 magazines produced and that will make for a welcome addition to accompany one's Reising Model 50 machine gun. -MLW-
